Upcoming Events
Talks
Building Environments of Care
Benedetta Tagliabue, an architect and the co-founder of EMBT Architects, will explore how architecture can foster well-being by transforming public spaces into places of comfort, healing, and belonging. Tagliabue will examine how renaturalization, adaptive reuse, and human-centered design can help us reimagine cities as environments of care, where nature and architecture come together to create warmth and a sense of home within the urban fabric. Free and open to the public. Register to attend.
Amitav Acharya on the Once and Future World Order
Drawing on his recent book, “The Once and Future World Order,” Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor of International Relations at American University, will discuss how world order has never been solely a Western project, and how the shift away from Western-led dominance may open the door to a more equitable, multipolar system rather than global disorder. Free and open to the public. Register to attend.
