Join Yale's Peggy Deamer and the MSD's Kirsten Day for an evening of reimagining what architecture education can be.

Architecture is in crisis, caught between its disciplinary ideals and professional constraints. Education sits at the heart of this tension, shaping how architects think, work, and engage with the world. Yet, it is not neutral—it actively influences the culture of architecture.

The Organizer’s Guide to Architecture Education calls for a radical rethinking of how architecture is taught. It provides students, educators, and practitioners with tools to challenge the status quo, organise collectively, and create a more just and sustainable future.

If architecture is to evolve, it must start in our schools and studios. Join us in reimagining its possibilities.
