Woodbury School of Architecture announces Fall '21 program — Year of Intelligence

2021-08-31T13:27:00-04:00

This post is brought to you by Woodbury School of Architecture, an Archinect Partner School

Woodbury School of Architecture (WSoA) is pleased to announce its Fall 2021 Lecture Series as part of the Year of Intelligence. For the past several years, the School has chosen an annual social justice-focused topic. Two years ago, the theme was Housing. Last year, WSoA investigated the theme of Climate Justice. This year, the theme is Intelligence.

Intelligence refers to the increased presence of Artificial Intelligence in the design industries and our daily lives. It is both a recognition and provocation to question how we might leverage this new intelligence for social and environmental change.

“The development of computational tools and data systems, digital and virtual media, AI and machine learning, have historically been in the hands of the very few which has made access to them egregiously inequitable,” says WSoA Dean Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter. “These systems affect each one of us w...
