SCI-Arc is pleased to announce its fall 2014 series of public lectures and events. Each semester, SCI-Arc’s dynamic lecture series engages speakers from a broad range of disciplines, such as award-winning architects, urban historians, artists, designers, curators, writers, scholars, and other cultural figures. The lecture series this fall is coupled with two exhibitions, a SCI-Arc Gallery installation of experimental architectural drawings, and a Library Gallery show featuring an architectural proposal for the future of the Nazi concentration camps in Poland.

Admission to SCI-Arc-hosted public events and exhibitions is always free and open to the public.
