transects

How do we relate to each other across disciplines, scales, densities, environments and communities? 

As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the School of Architecture in the 2024-2025 academic year, we invite our community to join us as we explore transects – the connections across, within, and outside of our school – through diverse programs and departments. We will lay out the various approaches to dealing with some of the pressing issues faced by the built environment.

A transect cuts across territories at scales from the domestic to the city, from the individual plant to an ecosystem, from an individual course through an entire curriculum and across disciplines. It is a way to, through the cut, bring immense diversity together. 

Join us as we connect across and within disciplines and find out what a cut through our connections looks like and discussions on what is driving our transects now and into the future.
