Detroit School Series

To launch our Winter lecture series, Anya Sirota, Assistant Professor of Architecture at Taubman College, will discuss how Detroit shapes her architecture practice. Sirota serves as the principal architect at Akoaki, a Detroit-based art and architecture practice with an established reputation for original projects that materialize utopian ambitions in complex urban scenarios. In her teaching and practice, Sirota focuses on the relationship between architecture and contemporary cultural production, implementing community-based design practices and critically re-evaluating how architecture can sustain heritage and participate in public discourse. The lecture "Post Post-It" will be held Friday, January 27, from 4:15 to 6 pm in the Rackham West Conference Room (4th floor).
