Overview
Cornell University’s History of Architecture and Urbanism Society (HAUS) invites graduate students to participate in its annual research Ph.D. symposium, which seeks to rethink architecture’s historic role in the politics of climate change while reimagining interdisciplinary paths for addressing it. This year’s inaugural symposium will be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
