2025 Fall Lecture Series: Michael Spicher

Too many people merely endure the spaces they inhabit. Yet architecture shapes how people live, work, and relate.

This talk challenges architects to design for flourishing, meaning, and aesthetics—so that spaces don’t just function, but actively foster connection, creativity, and well-being, enabling people to truly thrive.

Join us Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at 6 PM EDT in-person at the BAC or virtually!
