KOSMOS is an architectural practice with offices in Zürich and Graz, which collaborates virtually across borders. Through experimentation with materials and construction techniques, KOSMOS explores the spatial and visual parameters of architecture to define its contemporary meaning.

Leonid Slonimskiy & Artem Kitaev (KOSMOS) will deliver the lecture “Never Permanent” for AAD Arguments. They will be introduced by Xiaoxi Chen and be joined by Barry Wark and AAD students to provide a response following the presentation and host a Q&A session.

Gena Wirth (SCAPE) works with cities, community advocates, and landowners to reveal the immense ecological and cultural potential of public landscapes. As Design Principal, she translates research into practice, leading the design and implementation of complex, multi-stakeholder landscapes.

The lecture will be moderated by Sagi Golan (GSAPP, NYC Planning).

This week, GSAPP Career Services will provide a Resume Writing Workshop & Salary Negotiation Refresher for the Class of 2026, June 17, and an Interview Preparation Workshop, June 18.
