As the School Community prepares to choose the next AA Director in a few months’ time, the Search Committee is organising a symposium in Term 2 comprising of keynote lectures and roundtable discussions with invited guests. This will be an opportunity for the School Community and our wider audiences to come together for a series of public discussions and to think deeply about the future of the AA and architectural education as a whole. It will be a forum for debate in which everyone in attendance will be encouraged to actively engage, participate and share ideas.
The lectures and discussions will address how we might learn from various educational models in a wider context, as well as exploring new and alternative creative processes within architecture and beyond. Importantly, the event will address the critical responsibilities held by architectural education in relation to pressing global and planetary issues.
