November 10, 2023, 9am

Wood Auditorium, Avery 114

Rethinking Practice: Climate, Equity, Labor is a one-day conference organized by Alessandro Orsini, Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia GSAPP. The symposium brings together practitioners, professors, and students to support the idea that the architect’s community sits in society like others, opposing the insular position that architecture has held for a long time.

This conference is free and open to the public. Please note that the event will be held in person at Avery Hall and will not be live-streamed.

This event content is equivalent to 6 AIA/CES total learning credits. Please contact events@arch.columbia.edu for more information.
