WHO TRANSFORM CITIES . MAKING . CAMPUS
The School of Architecture and Design Alumni Symposium was designed to engage and spotlight the work of our talented alumni. The School of 12K aims to bridge the gap between our current students and faculty and the working professionals who call KU their alma mater. The 12KU Alumni Symposium is an opportunity for all alumni to gather, connect and reconnect, earn continuing education credits, engage with faculty, staff and current students, and be recognized for their pioneering and impactful work. This year’s theme, the 12,000 Who Transform, examines how technology is transforming the way in which we work, design and build, and how design is transforming the world we live in today.

Session 1: Transformation of Cities The Forum at Marvin Hall
8:30 - 10am
Throughout history, urban design has evolved based on the influences of the times. Join us as we explore some of the challenges facing urban design. From ‘smart cities’ to self-driving cars what influence do these advancements have on an urban scale? How do today’s humans want and need to interact with their cities? Furthermore, how do future technological advances impact existing infrastructure of established urban developments?

Session 2: Transformation of Making The Forum at Marvin Hall
10:30 - 12pm
From wireframing on whiteboards to painting in virtual space, our creative canvas is no longer... canvas. Our abilities, services, and stories are being created in a wide spectrum of technologies and methodologies that enable us to bring ‘the sketch’ to life. How has this spectrum influenced the quality, speed, and impact of our work? Has more tech and methods lead to more efficiencies or challenges in more mediums? This session aims to reveal how today’s processes, materials, and expectations of practice have broadened and what this means for the next wave of professionals.
