The Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture invites you to join us on Monday 12 October at 5:30pm ET for a Remembrance of David Lewis, Distinguished Teaching Professor of Urban Studies at Carnegie Mellon.
We look forward to celebrating David's legacy with you during this event, where we'll be joined by members of his family, as well as his fellow faculty, friends, and colleagues, who will share their remembrances of him and his legacy to the school, the profession, and the Pittsburgh community.
Following this event, the school is proud to present the annual David Lewis Lecture on Urban Design and Social Equity at 7:00pm ET as part of the 2020 Fall Lecture Series. We'll be joined by William Gilchrist from the City of Oakland, Planning and Building, who will present his talk "Urban Design as a Catalyst for Environmental Equity."
The professions of architecture, planning, and landscape architecture face a critical moment of self-examination in light of the challenges that cities and regions must meet addressing the environmental, social, and political manifestations of the global health crisis. Through a series of project case studies in urban regeneration, Gilchrist will explore principles that affirm urban design’s vital role through substantive engagement and creative aesthetic responses that support social inclusion, equity, and adaptation.
All events will take place on Zoom, and are free and open to all.
