School of Architecture Spring 2026 Lecture Series

How are publics shaped?   The shaping of the public sphere is inherently open, created through discourse in time and space. In a time when discourse is challenged, how can we open dialogue and investigate the ephemeral but lasting impact of publics? The lecture series over the 2025-2026 academic year will be open to multiple voices and creation of publics both within and outside our community.
