Archinect's Architecture School Lecture Guide for Fall 2013

Here on Archinect we recently launched "Get Lectured", where we'll feature a school's lecture series--along with their snazzy posters--for the current season. Check back regularly to stay up-to-date and mark your calendars for any upcoming lectures you don't want to miss.

It's time to change things up a little here in GL. For starters, our first international school is McGill University School of Architecture in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Since 2001, the McGill School of Architecture has featured several notable names--and a colorful collection of posters -- in their seasonal lecture series. A few recent lecturers include Bjarke Ingels of BIG; ARUP Principal David Scott;  Shigeru Ban; Jeanne Gang; Luc Courchesne of METALAB, and UPenn Emeritus Professor of Urbanism Witold Rybczynski. Another regular feature to take note of is their lunchtime Brown Bag ASA-sponsored lecture series.

Select lectures are also available as podcasts.

Want to share your school's lecture series? Send us your school's lecture series poster and details to connect@archinect.com.

Lectures will take place on Mondays, 6:00 pm at Room G10 of the Macdonald-Harrington Building, unless noted**.
