All lectures are free and open to students and the general public.

Contextual Architecture - TACO
Friday, Setember 20, 2024
6:00 - 7:00 pm CIS 1048
TACO advocates a return to the fundamental principles of architecture that prioritize
the relationship between users, places, and contemporary needs. A detailed understanding
of contextual factors—such as environmental conditions, cultural influences, and historical
relevance—can lead to more effective and responsive architectural solutions. These
contextual factors impact occupant well-being as well as the safety and functionality
of built environments.
