The Architectural League’s new initiative, “Reimagine”, is a workshop welcoming design graduates from the Class of 2020 to re-evaluate their role as designers and architects in understating and shaping space amidst converging and ongoing crises of COVID-19, climate change, racism and economic inequality. Selected graduates from
architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design programs will be meeting with academic and professional mentors from across the United States for online Zoom discussion in small groups on a weekly basis. Each session with have a specific focus, and the workshop will culminate in a public town hall presentation where every group will have a chance to share their ideas and approaches to how things might and should be done. This collective body of work and findings will be curated in a online exhibition on archleague.org.
