AA × Harvard GSD Project Exchange Conference

Join the Project Exchange Conference - Spring 2026 Edition.

Chapter Beyond is a student-initiated platform founded by students at UCL, Harvard GSD, and the AA School, created to foster exchange and dialogue across studio cultures in art, architecture, and landscape.

This online conference connects the studio cultures of the AA School and Harvard GSD through open dialogue between students.

The session features selected student presentations, each followed by a discussion, offering insight into their core questions, design processes, critical decisions, and underlying architectural logic.

Rather than focusing on final outcomes, the conference opens up how projects are developed, challenged, and refined within different studio environments.

Whether you are preparing for architectural studies or simply interested in design thinking, this conference offers a unique opportunity to engage with diverse approaches to architectural education.

Join us and be part of the conversation.
