Architecture Lecture Series

Each year, the Architecture and Interior Design programs at California College of the Arts mount an ambitious series of lectures, exhibitions, panels, and symposia featuring academic and practice leaders from around the world. These programs complement the curriculum, stimulate design research, and strengthen the program’s connection to other sites of design, practice, and scholarship in the Bay Area and across the nation. The full schedule of events can be found on the page for the Architecture Lecture Series.
