Engaging Pluralism: spring edition lecture series presented by Rice Architecture

With this year’s theme, Engaging Pluralism, we look at how architects and designers might use friction, contradiction, and multiplicity to affect larger social, cultural, and environmental change. It provides a platform for all schools to think on the potential and problems of planning for a diversified society.
