The Weitzman School of Design is an inventive place of learning where the many fields of architecture, planning, preservation, landscape and the fine arts come together on shared ground. At the Weitzman School, we are dedicated to design that is creative in nature and transformative in impact. In a collaborative environment that fosters inquiry and experimentation, faculty and students seek to recast the distinction between theory and practice, expand knowledge and invention through research, and contribute works of value and beauty.

Hazel Ruth Edwards will give a talk focused on campuses as cultural landscapes, spaces shaped by history, race, and public life. The talk is grounded in her research and teaching at Howard University, where the campus itself reflects a long history of Black architectural and planning leadership.

Tonight, 6:30pm. Join us for a lecture from Architecture. Li Hu and Huang Wenjing, of OPEN Architecture, will give a talk called "OPEN as both verb and adjective in Architecture." The firm’s Sun Tower project in Yantai, China, an oceanfront cultural facility, has become a local attraction in part because of how the building’s geometry aligns with the movement of the sun.
