Building Futures Lecture Series
The University of Innsbruck & University of Texas at Arlington present:
The Building Futures Lecture Series, hosted by Alpinestudio, seeks to engage an interdisciplinary audience in the fields of architecture, landscape design, urban planning, and civil engineering to foster a discussion on climate resilience in the built environment. Participants explore global frameworks of sustainability and ecology to develop a broad understanding of urban futures in the age of planetary crisis across multiple scales: from architecture to the city, and from humans to the global geopolitical landscape.
