The Arcus Endowment Symposium brings together past recipients of Arcus grants with the current Arcus Scholar-in-Residence to explore the interaction between gender, sexuality, and the built environment. The event includes roundtable presentations and discussion about Arcus-supported projects and the issues they raise for architectural education, research and professional practice. Admission is free.
