September 2026 Virtual Lunchtime Lecture

Join us for our September Virtual Lunchtime Lecture - “Architecture Out of Balance”

Contemporary architecture often prioritizes rapid construction and short-term trends over long-term performance and adaptability. In our September Lunchtime Lecture, “Architecture Out of Balance,” architect and professor Keith Simon challenges this cycle, urging a shift toward performance-driven design that prioritizes longevity, sustainability, and human experience. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding at speed, this talk calls for a more thoughtful approach; one that values adaptation, environmental responsibility, and the emotional impact of the space we inhabit. By rethinking what makes architecture meaningful, Keith invites designers to restore balance—creating buildings that not only function efficiently, but also endure, connect, and enrich our lives over time.
