Architectural Theory Now!


Symposium Link: https://www.design.upenn.edu/architecture/graduate/events/architectural-theory-now-0

From todays sneak peek I noted the interesting format. Somehow when I think of a symposium I think of lectures followed by Q&A or guided conversations. Oddly this symposium was structured more as a roundtable discussion of experts overlooked by symposium attendants. As I wasn’t able to attend today I am not sure how involved the onlookers are with the expert table.

Updates to come from tomorrows roundtable.
