Reassembling the Profession Symposium

Georgia Tech School of Architecture

Join the Georgia Tech School of Architecture for a symposium in celebration of Professor George Johnston's new book Assembling the Architect

John and Joyce Caddell Building, Flex Space

On the occasion of the release of Assembling the Architect: The History and Theory of Professional Practice by Professor George B. Johnston, this symposium will convene scholars and architects to critically consider ongoing transformations of architectural practice.Event DetailsArchitectural practice is constantly changing. Economic and technological forces are actively reshaping professional assumptions, and modes of practice in coming decades may vary as much from today’s practices as those do from practices of the 19th century. Given this constant revolutionizing of architectural practice, how can architects – and students of architecture – prepare themselves for inevitable shifts in the culture of architectural production? In celebration of Professor George B. Johnston&#x27;s new book, Assembling the Architect: The History and Theory of Professional Practice, the aims of this symposium are to consider the profession from distinct critical perspectives and to speculate about emergent frameworks of 21st century architectural practice.Presenters and Panelists<a href="http://www.kdunn.info/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Keefer Dunn</a>, sole practitioner, an active member of the Architecture Lobby, a lecturer at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the host of a radio show about architecture and politics called Buildings on Air.<a href="http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/person/jacob-reidel/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jacob Reidel</a>, Assistant Professor in Practice of Architecture, Harvard Graduate School of Design<a href="http://www.iac.gatech.edu/people/faculty/schatzberg" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Eric Schatzberg</a>, Professor and Chair, Georgia Tech School of History and Sociology<a href="http://ap.buffalo.edu/People/faculty/department-of-architecture-faculty.host.html/content/shared/ap/students-faculty-alumni/faculty/Stratigakos.detail.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Despina Statigokos</a>, Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence, University of Buffalo<a href="http://arch.gatech.edu/people/george-johnston" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">George Johnston</a>, Professor, Georgia Tech School of Architecture, and author of Assembling the Profession: The History and Theory of Professional Practice<a href="https://arch.gatech.edu/people/danielle-willkens" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Danielle Willkens</a>, Moderator, Assistant Professor, Georgia Tech School of ArchitectureAgenda1:00 – 3:15 p.m. | Welcome and Individual Panelist Presentations | Caddell Flex Space4:00 p.m. | Assembling the Architect, An Introduction | Reinsch-Pierce Family Auditorium4:30 p.m. | Panel Discussion6 p.m. | Book Signing and Reception | Stubbins and Cohen GalleryThis symposium and keynote are free to attend. <a href="https://arch.gatech.edu/directions-and-parking" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Parking information and directions to the Georgia Tech School of Architecture</a>
