Join us as we embark on a journey through architectural innovation and urban design with two distinguished professionals: Lucca Townsend, M.Arch'12, Associate at Sasaki Design, and Ruthie Kuhlman, AIA, M.Arch'14, Senior Associate at RODE. These thought leaders bring a wealth of experience through their discussions exploring contemporary trends, sustainable practices, and cutting-edge concepts that shape the evolving landscape of architecture and urban planning. You can expect an engaging exploration of the dynamic intersection between design, collaboration, and sustainability.

Join us in person at Cascieri Hall or on Zoom.

Lucca Townsend’s lecture touches on how her thesis (A Cemetery in the City) led her to design spaces for shared experience within urban landscapes. She will share her work on park buildings, urban sculptures, and projects that blend landscape and architecture.

Ruthie Kuhlman’s lecture focuses on how concept and context can shape the design and experience of building. She looks at the exploration and discovery of space through circulation design of a new Boston Globe headquarters downtown, the creation of a new sculptural residence responding to the fabric of the neighborhood along an East Boston park, to the design of a new mass timber building in Worcester, MA.
