Get Lectured: South Dakota State University, Fall '14

2014-08-28T13:19:00-04:00

Another school year, another edition of Archinect's Get Lectured! As a refresher, we'll be featuring a school's lecture series—and their snazzy posters—for the current term. If you're not doing so already, be sure to keep track of any upcoming lectures you don't want to miss.

Today's poster comes from the South Dakota State University (SDSU) Department of Architecture with their Convention lecture series, curated by SDSU architecture instructor Sara Lum.

A quick summary about Convention:
"Convention investigates the established protocols related to notions of representation, geographical location, modes of practice, building techniques, and the return of history currently in question...While architectural projects both professional and academic respond to given criteria in multiple ways, agreed upon conventions serve as a way to communicate and validate intellectual production across a broad spectrum of projects."

SD town tapping architecture students for ideas

2011-12-02T14:01:40-05:00

Thomas Unterseher is on a mission to make South Dakota's small towns more attractive, and he's starting in the place he knows best: his hometown of Mobridge. Like many small towns in the state, Mobridge has been on the decline for decades and is struggling to maintain its population. [...] But since there's little money in the city budget to pay architects or designers to develop a long-term plan to pitch to residents, Unterseher is turning to an untapped resource: architecture students.
