Archinect's Get Lectured offers an overview of different events and lectures taking place at architecture schools each semester. Today, our series continues with a look at what’s happening this Fall at Carnegie Mellon University School of Architecture in Pittsburgh.

The semester’s theme is ‘Revolutions.’ The school shares: “The fall highlights architects who, to borrow Toni Cade Bambara’s phrase, 'make the revolution irresistible'ⁱ — artists and thinkers who challenge us to envision a multitude of approaches to making and being.”

Events kick off with activist and filmmaker Jim LeBrecht’s presentation of his 2020 documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution on September 22. The Harvard GSD’s Ana María León will come to campus for a lecture on September 29, followed by the opening of the Systemic Design Association symposium Addressing Wicked Challenges: Colloquies for Transgenerational Collaboration on October 4. 

Filmmakers Alysa Nahmias and Benjamin Murray will present their 2011 work Unfinished Spaces on October 13, followed by a discussion and screening of director Elettra Fiumi’s Radical Landscapes on October 27 as part of the newly launched Pittsburgh Architecture Week. A lecture from Office Andorus Director Andrew Santa Lucia will take place on October 30, and the semester concludes with a discussion hosted by the Architectural Theory & Contemporary Issues seminar on November 10.
