Fitch Colloquium: "Repairing Architecture Schools" When: 10:00AM–5:00 PM Where: Columbia University, GSAPP, Wood Auditorium Registration required: includes complimentary lunch and campus access. This year’s colloquium, co-organized with Places Journal, will explore the pedagogical imagination, and consider what it would take to rebalance the relative importance of preserving existing buildings in the pedagogy of architecture schools. While focusing on architecture and preservation, the symposium will also explore the impact of such pedagogical innovations in all the professions of the built environment, including urban planning, real estate development, urban design, engineering, and others. Reconnect with classmates, meet current students and faculty, and help us honor this historic anniversary. RSVP now to secure your spot for one or both events! Registration closes on December 4.
