Renee Y. Chow: A Call to Architects | Architecture Lecture
Free and open to the public
A Call to Architects: It is time to stop the slow architectural retreat from shaping our world. Now more than ever, our profession, our knowledge, and our disciplinary values are needed. Renee Chow offers a call to action for those who believe architects are agents of change. Drawing on decades of seeing the relations between people and places, she shares five essential propositions to steward our cities and metropolises.
