Join us this week as the AIANY Chapter and Center for Architecture explore architectural education! The Center’s annual showcase of K-12 student design work, “Building Connections,” will open on 11.13.15. Come back on 11.14.15 for the opening of “Arch Schools 2015,” an exhibition of exemplary student work from area schools, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. The opening will be followed by the Deans’ Roundtable, where deans from schools of architecture will discuss current directions in architectural education. Moderated by Tim De Noble, dean of the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design at Kansas State University, the program will examine ways that schools are innovating to expand the periphery of architecture, and prepare their graduates to extend the realm and reach of design leadership.

And while the month is almost over, architecture programming is not! Don’t forget to check the Center for Architecture’s online calendar, and visit our partner organizations’ websites to see their offerings for the rest of the year!
