    MIT Spring 2008 Lecture Series

    MIT Architecture Lecture Series: Global Practice

    Spring 2008


    By now, global architectural practice has already graduated from the initial phase of being a somewhat mysterious and glorified enterprise. The jetsetters have long become tired jetlaggers. Today, global practice seems to be just another approach to survival for many architects and firms. This new condition deserves a moment of reflection:

    How has global practice impacted architecture, art, and design?

    What is the current status of global practice?

    How may global practice further transform the way we work and think?
