CAAD Lecture Series

CAAD  >  About  >  CAAD Lecture Series

Every semester, CAAD hosts international and regional experts and scholars in architecture and design as part of the CAAD Lecture Series.

These guest lectures enhance the CAAD curriculum, providing opportunities for our students and faculty to interact with scholars, institutions and practices of architecture and design outside of the CAAD community.

The topics covered are broad, from bio-integrated design to exploring South Korea’s graphic design scene, allowing CAAD faculty and students to engage with ideas outside of the realm of everyday classroom discussion. 

Guest lecturers are selected based on faculty and student recommendations and are coordinated by the CAAD departmental lectures committees.

Our past guest lecturers have included:

Architecture

  • Marcus Cruz, Professor at the Bartlett School of Architecture, London 
  • Marlon Blackwell, Principal of Marlon Blackwell Architects and Professor at the University of Arkansas
  • Rafael Aranda, RCR Arquitectes, Spain
  • Dwayne Oyler and Jennifer Wu, Principals of Oyler/Wu Architects and Professors at Sci-Arc, Los Angeles

 

Art and Design

  • Noah Raford, Futurist-in-Chief and Chief of Global Affairs for Dubai Future Foundation 
  • Lara Khoury, multi-disciplinary experimental designer
  • Torsten Posselt, executive partner and artistic director of FELD
  • Andreas Picker, co-founder of interdisciplinary design studio milz
  • Douglas Coupland, award-winning Canadian novelist, designer and visual artist
  • Pablo-Johannes Dornhege, founder of design and consulting agency Narrative.Spaces
