Seeking Agency in the City
October 10, 6:00pm
FREE with Museum Admission

​It is well understood that the 21st century will be an urban era. With this transformation, the contemporary city also faces seemingly insurmountable challenges in the coming years: environmental, social, political and economic. By examining historic case studies of urban transformations, as well as work from his own practice, Jeffrey Kruth suggests that the architect and urbanist's disciplinary toolkit is both well-suited to investigate these contemporary challenges, while also pointing out the broader disciplinary frameworks that might further foster agency in the city.
