BUILDING RESEARCH: CENTERING BUILDINGS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE The Preston H. Thomas Memorial Symposium, "Building Research" on April 17th seeks to reignite the curiosity buildings inspire by asking: How can we center buildings and the knowledge that emerges from their construction within broader conversations about research in academia? How do we narrow the gap between academia and practice? How do we enable research to inform architectural practice? Through rigorous single-building case-study lectures, participants will investigate the complex material and economic trade-offs among affordability, building performance, and carbon reduction as forms of applied research. An accompanying exhibition titled CURIOUS CONSTRUCTIONS: SPECULATIVE MATERIAL ASSEMBLIES will be on display starting on April 16th in The Nave on the 3rd Floor of East Sibley Hall. The exhibition is a research and design initiative that explores unconventional, low-carbon material assemblies, challenging traditional construction practices through Building Research.
