Design Dialogues
In times of global crises, education, collaboration, and dialogs can represent positive “game changing” factors.
Through dialogue with international universities, industries, and practicing designers, the NYIT School of Architecture and Design Lecture Series will nurture dialogue on the education of the creatives of the future and will challenge the more conventional university curricula, and the narratives and communication strategies of the current professional practice.
