AAD Seminar Event: Defectors of Architecture

Thu, Apr 9    6:30pm

Bridging Architecture, Practice, and Industry, this course is to challenge the larger field of (a)rchitecture, and how we can redefine the future of architecture – as a profession, practice, and discourse. Why do Architects defect? What are other fields Architects can defect to? Who are these defectors? How can they defect?

Architecture as a practice and business operates between art, design, craft, and foremost, entrepreneurship. This course explores various opportunities of how creatives can use applied research and integration architecture, by leveraging the student’s diverse skills and techniques learnt in the field of architecture to create innovative business ventures within the built environment, and beyond.

Speakers include Daniel López-Pérez (University of San Diego), Salome Asega (New Inc.), Mick McConnell (Airbnb), Wendy W. Fok (WE-DESIGNS).
