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:
