Join us for the 4th Annual JADE Symposium. Convening the region's design schools faculty, students, and industry professionals, the day will be filled with authentic discussions about how to create a more inclusive and welcoming experience for all students in architecture and design education.
We are excited to welcome our keynote speakers, Cruz Garcia (Rio Piedras) and Nathalie Frankowski (Roanne), founders of WAI Architecture Think Tank. Their planetary studio is dedicated to critical spatial practices and the creation of alternative public design curricula, exploring the built, destroyed, and imagined environments.
