Designing Differently - JMBC Talks: Fall 2015 Series

Talks are held 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the southeast bay of the Spitzer School second floor, with light refreshments provided.

Obiekwe Okolo, Former AIAS National Vice-President

Student Moderators: Shereese Trumpet (B. Arch.), Christina Bien-Aimé (B. Arch.), Amanda Sarantos (B. Arch.), Baruch Tauber (M.L.A.)

Have architects been too focused on “egotistical” architecture; focusing on STARchitecture and abandoning the values of a true designer / architect? Have designers become disconnected with reality, become absorbed with vanity, and pining for validation? Guest speaker Obiekwe Okolo and our panelists will provide their thoughts about evolving design practices and professions.

JMBC Talks is a collaboration among the SSA design center, students, and faculty in an effort to create a greater dialogue and promote an exchange of ideas and critical thinking. Talks are held 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the southeast bay of the Spitzer School second floor, with light refreshments provided.
