This Fall, MIT Architecture's lecture series consists of a series of hybrid events that continues with their theme focusing on "where we are now." The school shares that this year's series will "confront visionary symbolism, extraordinary mechanics, decolonial maneuvers, new methods of computational craft, situated technologies, design research, spaceships in the desert, conversations on care, and the enduring power of defiant optimism."

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