Friday Lunch Forum Series
Roughly every other Friday during the fall and spring semesters, the Center hosts the Friday Lunch Forum Series. The aim of the series is for faculty and students to meet in an informal atmosphere to debate topics and to share ideas about history, practice, theory, and new directions for architecture.
All Center Lunch Forums take place at 12:00pm (CST) in Battle Hall, Room 101, and via LIVE WEBCAST using Adobe Connect. Note: The Adobe Connect system will ask you to log in. You may select "Guest" and enter a name. This name will not be used for any purpose.
