The University of Innsbruck & University of Texas at Arlington present:
Building Futures Lecture Series
The Building Futures Lecture Series, hosted by Alpinestudio, seeks to engage an interdisciplinary audience in the fields of architecture, landscape design, urban planning, and civil engineering to foster a discussion on climate resilience in the built environment. Participants explore global frameworks of sustainability and ecology to develop a broad understanding of urban futures in the age of planetary crisis across multiple scales: from architecture to the city, and from humans to the global geopolitical landscape.
Special thanks to the Archiv für Bau.Kunst.Geschichte for co-hosting these events.
