Carnegie Mellon Architecture is delighted to announce its spring 2024 public programs.
Revolutions/Resolutions
The 2023–24 public programs series will examine revolutions in the fall and resolutions in the spring. What is architecture’s role in revolutionizing or repairing broken systems? Join us in conversations that call for both incremental and radical shifts within our discipline, profession and society.
Resolutions
The spring public programs emphasize architects as mediators negotiating disparate modes of thought, creating common ground, and mitigating harm. We discuss how our work addresses critical sites and debates in the world around us; what it takes to articulate our values and stand by them.
All events are free and open to the public. For more details please visit here or sign up for our newsletter.
