An Einhorn Center for Community Engagement Lecture Series
Overview
This public conversation series accompanies Professor Pamela Karimi's course Designing Deserts: Architecture, Ecology, and Imagination in Arid Lands.

The series brings together architects, visionaries, and community leaders to share experimental approaches to architecture in drylands and beyond: from desert communes and water-harvesting towers to adobe habitats and environmental prototypes. Each presentation addresses overlapping challenges of climate change and displacement, offering collaborative design strategies for sustainable architecture and design justice in extreme environments.

Free and open to the public.

Organized by Associate Professor Pamela Karimi and supported by the Einhorn Center for Community Engagement, Cornell Center for Social Science, and the Department of Architecture at AAP.
