[Rensselaer Positions Series]

positions_web01

The Positions Series is a collection of student-led discussion events taking place at the Rensselaer School of Architecture. With a conversational basis, this forum for discussion aims to examine imperative matters regarding the field of architecture, its pedagogy, and its practice. Each gathering opens with a set of carefully-articulated initial questions, and is followed by discussion and debate. The series seeks to create an intellectual friction by encouraging all participants and observers to define their positions on issues of pertinence to the field of architecture.

*Location, unless otherwise noted: Greene Building, School of Architecture
