FREE COURSE: HarvardX: The Architectural Imagination Learn fundamental principles of architecture — as an academic subject or a professional career — by studying some of history’s most important buildings.

Join us this Thursday at 3:30 pm in the Reinsch-Pierce Family Auditorium for The "Who is the Architect?" Symposium. The symposium addresses the nature and the prospects of professional practice from multiple points of view: 1. How do architects forge new identities, specializations, and ways of collaboration as corporate firms increasingly dominate the design and construction of large and significant projects?  2. How are professional knowledge and the ways in which we share, curate, and expand professional knowledge transformed by digital technologies that enable not only the representation of buildings but also the modeling and assessment of their functions as well as the storage and analysis of relevant data? 3. What is the place of human and social values in the production of designs and the assessment of their impact and who brings those values into the process of decision making? 4. How far do those who exercise the profession of architecture own or co-produce the larger vision that generates significant projects? 5. How has the relationship between the profession and the discipline of architecture evolved in our world?    The symposium brings together four scholars: Phil Bernstein, Deputy Dean and Professor of Architecture at Yale University. Aaron Cayer, Assistant Professor at CalPoly-Pomona. Elizabeth Christoforetti, Assistant Professor in the Practice of Architecture at Harvard University. George Johnston, Professor Emeritus at Georgia Tech and the scholar in whose honor the symposium is organized.

Meet Alanah Hayes, a #UDGC finalist from Technological University Dublin. Alanah’s project explores the emotional impact of architecture and its potential to care for and connect with those who interact with it. Using space, material, and light, her work examines how buildings can evoke emotions such as hope, calm, and belonging. She asks, "What is the role of an architect in care?" and "Can architecture be used as a tool for care?" Alanah’s project is a beautiful investigation into the intersection of empathy and design, inspiring us to think about architecture in new ways.
