Fall 2025
UMASS Department of Architecture
We are excited to announce the 2025 Dialogues with Practice Lecture series. The DwP series invites innovative architectural practitioners to present a single project through the focused lens of one key detail or assembly. Each speaker discusses the design process that led to the development of this element, examining the technical, environmental, financial, and aesthetic considerations involved. Presenters also reflect on how this detail embodies or advances the conceptual ambitions of the larger project.
This series is part of the graduate Integration course, but open to the Five Colleges Community. The lectures are held virtually, and can be joined via zoom using the following link: https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/j/97067566507
