Learn How to Build a Personal Brand That Impresses, Inspires, & Attracts Opportunities. The architectural response to the concept of community has always been much broader than shelter. But, as we’ve learned to live with each other lately in new ways at the intersection of political upheaval and a post-pandemic malaise, can architecture adequately respond? This is a talk about “intentional communities” and why the choices we make in living together can enrich the values of the communities we choose. Via Zoom, registration required.
