Visions: A Range of Magnitudes
The Spring 2024 Lecture Series
The lectures take place in Burns Auditorium at 4:30 pm.
The lecture series, Visions: A Range of Magnitudes, exposes students, faculty, alumni, practitioners, and the public to the breadth of players, ideas, situations, issues, challenges, technologies and methods, controversies, collaborations, and achievements related to the profession.
This semester, joining via Zoom will not be an option, so please come support our lectures and events in person. Recordings will be posted to this page when available. Each lecture typically lasts for an hour, followed by Q + A and a brief discussion. Many speakers will extend their visits to campus to participate in design studio reviews and brown bag lunch sessions with students and faculty.
