Overview
Design can be understood as "giving form to things to come." One enters a design trajectory to work towards a set of desired outcomes. In the past, the service of design, as an enterprise, was a viable business. Yet, in times that seem increasingly chaotic, unpredictable, unstable, and uncertain, how and why does one set up a practice? This lecture series asks six architects and designers who recently ventured on their own: How do you do it and why?

The format is simple, 25 minutes of presentation and 25 minutes of conversation at the Gensler Family AAP NYC Center.
