Roadtrip! the OSU 2009 Knowlton School of Architecture Lecture Series


Ah, my favorite time of year. I can wear a hoody comfortably and pull off the dapper collection of chapeaus I have, making veggie french onion soup doesn't turn my apartment into a swealtering H-E-doublehockeystick hole and all the colleges start advertising their awesome lecture schedules (some better than others HINT HINT KENT STATE!).

The Ohio State University has posted the Autumn 2009 Lecture series and it looks to be a doozy. For those of you unsure as to why lectures can be exciting let me just mention that Kent State did have a Craig Scott lecture which was the best lecture you didn't even know happened.

As always I will be scouring the lecture series of schools that fall within the parameters of being "local" (figure 4 hour commute one way) or that happen to be at a school in a city I can't get enough of (Daniels at University of Toronto) and posting them on the TOIstudio Calendar. As a disclaimer let me just say that the Google Calendar is extremely cumbersome and really doesn't work as smoothly as my fat fingers wishes it did so make sure to verify time and place and to make sure that the event in question hasn't been cancelled, it just makes sense.

Anyway, things to look forward to in Columbus:

John McMorrough
Wednesday, September 30
"Claim Jumping"
Monica Ponce de Leon
Wednesday, October 7
"Disciplinary Transgressions"
Matthijs Bouw
Wednesday, October 14
