Summer is here, and schools like UCLA School of Architecture and Urban Design are preparing for their Summer '23 lecture series. To accompany its AUD summer programming (JumpStart and TeenArch Summer Institute), UCLA's upcoming lecture series "offers programming and conversation that is simultaneously fundamental and complementary to [our] Summer Programs pedagogy."

Starting on July 7, a lecture between NMDA's Niel Denari and ALLTHATISSOLID's Max Kuo will take place. FormlessFinder's Garrett Ricciardi will give a lecture on July 10, followed by a lecture from UCLA AUD IDEAS Technology Studio lecturer Laure Michelon and David Freeland of FreelandBuck on July 14.

Natalie Alima of BIOLAB Studio will present a lecture on July 17, followed by a lecture from LA-based duo Sean Boyd and Mora Nabi of Nabi Boyd. Concluding the lecture summer lectures series is a presentation from Harvard GSD Doctoral candidate Katarina Richter-Lunn and Joel Kerner of Studio Joel Kerner on July 24. On July 25, Franz Riebenbauer of Studio Rienbenbauer will help lead UCLA's Jumpstart Workshop.

All lectures will take place in person at UCLA's Perloff Hall Decafe. Stay up to date with UCLA AUD events here.
