Miss a Lecture? We’ve got you covered! We’ll be posting one lecture a week for the next 6 weeks - our greatest hits from the 2013 series..You just need to supply the popcorn. 

Will Prince Founder of PARC Office opened our Spring 2013 Series on March 7th with his lecture entitled “Identity Crisis.”

The AIA Baltimore Spring 2013 Lecture Series is entitled SHIFT. 
This year’s series explores the shifting boundaries of the field of architecture as it continues to adapt to the evolution of digital technology, the desire for social impact, the redefinition of generational values, and the rise of creative financing models. In this time of dramatic transition, how can the discipline of architecture learn to be nimble and stay relevant? Each speaker presents a strategic response to these macro forces, expanding the range of architectural practice and blurring traditional disciplinary boundaries.

"[we] envision opportunities of context."
