School of Architecture + Design at Virginia Tech shares their Fall lecture series and focuses on new modes of practice. According to the school, they ask, "How do we make architecture for today?" 

Archinect's ongoing Get Lectured series features each school's lecture series and their graphic design prowess with graphic lecture posters.

The school shares, "For New Modes of Practice we have invited a group of young practitioners working in new ways both in how they represent architecture and in how they redesign the relationship between practice, politics, society and criticism to share and discuss their work with us this fall." Since September, their exemplary speaker line-up has expanded on this focus. "Our speakers for the fall all are moving beyond modes of design that dominated architecture during the late 1990s and early 2000s. They are less interested in technical mastery for its own sake and put more emphasis on political, social, and critical ideas."
