The Kansas State University College of Architecture, Planning & Design has shared their plans for the 2024 Fall semester as part of our ongoing event highlight at Archinect Partner Schools.

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the college’s Ekdahl Lecture Series. K-State shares: “The Ekdahl Lecture Series, named in honor of the distinguished architect Oscar S. Ekdahl, continues to serve as a forum for students, professionals, and the public to explore innovative ideas that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.”

The schedule begins with an October 23rd twin bill. Landscape architect Laurie Olin will speak first at 10:00 am, followed later that day by remarks from RIOS design director Jenny Myers at 4:30 pm. Guy Nordenson’s lecture on climate adaptation will follow the next day (October 24th) at 10:30 am, followed by a panel discussion on the future of the profession and reception at 4:30 pm.

Other events not to miss are the AIA Chicago Architecture + Design College Day on September 21st and the APDesign 10 Year Alumni Honorees on November 13th & 14th.
