Starting in September, GSAPP welcomed Stephen Burks, Bryan C. Lee Jr., Yasmeen Lari, and Lola Ben-Alon. Discussions on Site and History: On the Question of Repair and The Preservation of Disability dove into conversations moderated by Galia Solomonoff and David Gissen. Also during the month of September was GSAPP's symposium that focused on the recent book launch Race and Modern Architecture: A Critical History from the Enlightenment to the Present, published by the University Pittsburgh Press and edited by Mabel O. Wilson, Irene Cheg, and Charles L. Davis II.
