Join us for a special guest lecture with design activist and independent scholar Jos Boys, presented with Parlour.

In this talk, Jos will explore how architecture works as a disciplinary practice, and the underpinning frameworks across design methods, professional practices and solution-driven approaches can each act to include some and exclude others.
