The Carnegie Mellon University School of Architecture Public Programs presents:
Revolutions/Resolutions
Fall 2023 - Spring 2024
What is architecture’s role in revolutionizing or repairing broken systems? Join us in conversations that call for both incremental and radical shifts within our discipline, profession and society.
All events are free and open to the public.
Sarah Rafson
CURATOR OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS
Spring 2024
Resolutions
The spring public programs emphasize architects as mediators negotiating disparate modes of thought, creating common ground, and mitigating harm. We discuss how our work addresses critical sites and debates in the world around us; what it takes to articulate our values and stand by them.
