When the Architectural Studies Affiliate Group was formed a few years ago it generated a buzz in the SAH community, and it quickly became a vital meeting place for faculty teaching in Architectural Studies programs. Our earliest Quarterly Conversations were characterized by energy and blue-sky thinking about Architectural Studies, offering an informal space for sharing ideas, discussing challenges, and brainstorming innovative approaches.
This first Quarterly Conversation for the 2024-2025 season, which will be held virtually via Zoom, attempts to recapture that informal, energetic spirit. Instead of focusing around a predetermined theme, we see this as a general meeting and an open forum for participants to dream big about the future of Architectural Studies as a liberal arts, humanities-based approach to architectural education. Discover what the Architectural Studies Affiliate Group is all about and come prepared with questions to pose to the group. What new ideas have occurred to you recently as ways of transforming your own program? How can Architectural Studies programs uniquely address the changing landscape of architectural education? What new challenges have you discovered at your own institutions, and what strategies have you developed to address these challenges? What do you think is the future of Architectural Studies education?
At this meeting we will also announce a new initiative, one that invites Affiliate Group members to respond to a call for proposals for the topic of our third Quarterly Conversation for this year, to be held in late January/early February 2025. And we will update the membership on the interactive directory of Architectural Studies programs that we have developed over the past two years.
The event will be held on Friday 11 October 2024 from 11am-12:30pm (Central US)
