The lecture series within the Going Public programme is geared towards an international audience inside and outside the Faculty of Architecture. Therefore, most lectures are in English and have a scope that potentially reaches a wide audience. The lectures can highlight on the one hand a theme that is currently addressed in (one of) the studios or research groups and on the other hand introduce a theme that might be relevant to address within the faculty. So the lectures form an important antenna for the faculty’s position in the international discourse. The line-up of speakers presents a wide range of backgrounds and topics both form within the discipline of architecture as well as from related fields like design, philosophy, art or anthropology.
Some of the lectures can be revisited on the faculty’s YouTube channel. Next to the lectures there will be ‘Sofa Talks’ (related to the elective Architecture & Activism) or lunch lectures and several debates organized within the Going Public programme.
