Spring 2023 public programs

This spring 2023 semester, Columbia GSAPP’s public programs interrogate the disciplines of the built environment and the politics of their participation in the making of societies and ecosystems.

Lectures, conferences, book launches, and discussions are open to everyone. Events are live-streamed on the GSAPP YouTube Channel, and external visitors to in-person events must confirm vaccination status via our online registration form.
