Yale Women in Architecture presents: Teaching Practice I Practice Teaching.
June 22 at 7PM EST.
Many architects integrate teaching and practice. In this discussion Nina Rappaport has invited women graduates who both teach and practice architecture to discuss the interrelationships in their parallel careers.
Some questions to be discussed include: What are some of the decisions to combine the two professions? How do students inspire the practicing architect and how does teaching open new ways of thinking about the field? And how do we learn to impart both new ideas and carry out standards in an academic setting. Please join us on the 22nd of June at 7 PM to hear more and engage with our panelists.
