A SHoP lecture at PennDesign, part of UPenn's Contemporary Architecture series event. 6:00pm - 7:00pm B1 Meyerson Hall
"The inaugural L. Michael Goldsmith lecture will examine if removing the distance between design and construction opens up new creative territory, and promises a more informed and perhaps a more experimental material sensibility, should architecture programs invest more curricular capital in design-build pedagogies? What are the pros and cons of assuming greater agency in the fabrication and construction of our work?" AAP NYC 50 W. 17 Street New York NY

"Hosted by Cal Poly's College of Architecture and Environmental Design (CAED), the Hearst Lecture Series focuses this year on integrated design practices. The term 'integrated practice' is often used in association with BIM, leading to the mistaken presumption that new technologies equate integrated practice. The organizers of this year’s series propose asking: what is the integration we seek and how are technologies situated to enable this?" Friday, May 21st, at 4:00pm Business Rotunda, Room 03-213
