Paris Buell Prize 2020, 2nd Place

In recent years, the Center has convened issue-oriented conversations addressed to overlapping constituencies including academics, students, professionals, and the general public. The most recent project has addressed the relation of architecture and land in the Americas, approaching the topic through both historical research and in its contemporary relevance. Through research and programming, the Center articulates frameworks that seek to modify key assumptions governing the understanding and design of the built environment. Buell Center projects utilize a variety of formats, such as specialized academic conferences, small meetings, larger public events, and publications, depending on the issues and audience at hand.
