Design Agendas Symposium
Join community leaders, municipal leaders, and scholars in dialogue around topics related to the Design Agendas exhibition. Organized by WashU’s Kemper Art Museum, College of Architecture, and the Office for Socially Engaged Practice, the panels embrace the pluralistic ideas of the exhibition to explore the impact of past and present design agendas through lived, professional, and civic stories, as well as strategies for participatory futures that embed identity, culture, and memory in the built environment.
The symposium aims to be a space to:
- Embrace multiple perspectives including lived, experienced, professional, and civic administrative
- Engage the St. Louis community in dialogue on the impact of and vision for the built environment of the St. Louis region
- Share the collective depth of research and expertise of the Sam Fox School and community leaders within the St. Louis region
The symposium opens with keynote speaker, Toni L. Griffin, professor in practice of urban planning at Harvard University Graduate School of Design on Friday, October 25 at 5:30 p.m.
