Contemporary architecture is in the midst of a radical transformation and expansion as it adapts to unprecedented changes in the environment, technology, economy, and social spheres. In order to document these changes, Archinect presents Next Up, an event series comprising a series of interviews, panels, and talks with a new vanguard of practitioners who work across disciplines and terrains – from science to art, community activism to futurism.

Join us for the first iteration of Next Up on September 19, 2015 from 7 to 9 PM at Jai & Jai Gallery in Los Angeles, 648 N Spring St, alongside a screening of video works by artists and architects. Moderated by Paul Petrunia, Amelia Taylor-Hochberg, and Nicholas Korody.

The event will feature the public unveiling of the winners of Archinect’s Dry Futures competition, including a discussion with the jurors.
