Please join Ryan Scavnicky for the next Jane Jacobs Lecture on Media in Architecture: The Resounding Effects on Discourse. Architecture is importantly conditioned by media technology. Historically discussed in terms of film and photography, exciting revelations appear when we extend that history to include video games and social media.
