Dean’s Lecture Series: FOR/FROM

Every Wednesday Starting September 6


As a globalized society, our identities and origins are often complicated and dynamic. The ideas of "from" and "for" directly probe this complexity. One may be removed or distanced from where one originated, one may return after years of being away, or one may have never left in the first place. In response to these relationships, the Public Programs speakers for 2023-24 academic year will address the significance of origin to the architecture and planning disciplines. Whether these relationships are natural, adopted, forced, planned, or unexpected, the standpoints will afford a critical reflection on what it is to think, teach, and practice design for the place, culture, people, and/or species from which the designer originates.

HOST Dale White - oct. 18

White will present the ways that Buffalo and NYC are poetically intertwined, the ease of commuting between the two cities, and how they’ve joined to become one singular ecosystem of possibility and opportunity.
