Contemporary Questions is a discussion series focusing on important issues that divide us today. Each session will allow 3-4 faculty members to address an urgent topic for architectural research and design in relation to their own work and other contemporary examples.

The topics are structured dialectically around provocative issues in the hope that this will elicit constructive dialogue.
