AGENCY will present a lecture entitled “Inhabiting the Margin – A Social History of Informality”, as part of the Social Cities session, beginning at 3:30 pm.
The symposium marks the 50th anniversary of the Master of Urban Design Program in the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design at WUSTL. Architect Thom Mayne will present the keynote lecture, with other speakers throughout the weekend event including Teddy Cruz, Chris Reed, Ken Greenberg, Felipe Correa, Eric Mumford, John Hoal, Darrick Borowski, and Shawn Rickenbacker.
From the organizer’s website:
‘The intent of the symposium is to discuss and debate the future of urban design education and practice in a rapidly urbanizing world—a world that is increasingly socially complex, economically integrated, and challenged by vast shifts in natural resources’.
