Roadtrip (7)! - University of Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning

The UB School of Architecture and Planning already had some good lectures (I keep forgetting about this school for some reason, must be a mental block thing) but I am excited about Dan Rockhill and SANAA and think Xu Bing would be very interesting.

Here is the schedule including some items that we have already missed, just to rub it in that they have a lecture series too:

Oh, and they also have selected past lectures online for you to be viewing (Quicktime) online. Yay!
