The Boston Architectural College invites the community to join us for The Way We Work, a public lecture by Peggy Deamer, on Wednesday, September 18, at 6 pm in Cascieri Hall at the Boston Architectural College (320 Newbury St.)
The lecture is divided into two parts: the architect as worker and the worker as activist. The first describes the advantages of recognizing ourselves as workers; the second describes the advantage of - if not need for - activism in this regard. The latter traces the work of the Architecture Lobby.
