Archinect's Architecture School Lecture Guide for Winter/Spring 2014

Archinect's Get Lectured is up and running again for the Winter/Spring '14 term! As a refresher from our Fall 2013 guide, every week we'll feature a school's lecture series--and their snazzy posters--for the current season. Be sure to keep track of any upcoming lectures you don't want to miss.

Our next poster comes from the Rice School of Architecture/Rice Design Alliance. RSA/RDA is inviting RDA members and the public to their "On Immediacy" Lecture Series, curated by Rice SoA Assistant Professor Jesús Vassallo.
