School of Architecture Fall 2026 Lecture Series
How do we navigate and shape the friction of a built environment in constant flux?
The built environment is never static, it exists in a constant state of shifting, adapting, eroding, all only to be reimagined anew. As we face unprecedented climatic, technological, and social shifts, we are forced to consider deep, structural evolution. In the 2026-2027 academic year, we invite our community to interrogate transformations and to collectively think through the active processes by which spaces, materials, systems, and pedagogical practices are altered to meet the demands of a changing world.
