The health and safety of our community are our priority at the School of Architecture and Planning.

COUNTER / CULTURE takes its cue from the celebration of the School of Architecture and Planning's 50th year and sets up dialogues from a multitude of disciplinary perspectives on the subject of architectural education and institutional critique. 

The spring 2020 series focuses on the theme of institutional and cultural bias and features a lineup of powerful thought leaders across our disciplines. 

AIA and AICP continuing education credits are available.
