2017/2018 Hyde Lecture Series opens another exciting chapter for the design and planning disciplines as speakers take a fresh, in-depth look at the latest developments in their respective fields.

The College of Architecture kicks off their lecture series with Cruz Garcia and Nathalie Frankowski, this year’s Hyde Chairs, giving a lecture entitled “Diogenes Lantern.” They will explore how irony, humor and critical theory can fuel teaching, writing, publishing, designing spaces, and buildings and constructing ideas in search for an honest architecture. The pair will challenge the audience to explore the role of architecture in today’s world through a different lens by rethinking the potential and limitations of alternative tools and strategies of representation for project creation.
