Lectures + Workshops

Our lectures and workshops provide an opportunity for expansive, inclusive and ongoing public dialogue about the design of our shared urban environment in Santa Fe. 

Organized around provocative and timely themes, these events invite expert speakers—architects, planners, developers, policymakers, academics—to engage the community on important issues of sustainable urban development, preservation, social equity and livability. These are opportunities for both the audience and invited speakers to share knowledge, revise opinions, and participate in creating better design and policy outcomes.

2022:
ReVision Growth Series

To better inform thoughts and conversations around the current challenges housing development, ReVision Growth will examine and attempt to overcome the often entrenched oppositions between conventional thinking of new development and community interests of stability, prosperity, and livability.

2020-21: ReVisioning History Series

To better inform solutions to the contemporary challenges of our shared built environment, ReVisioning History proposes a critical re-examination of the collective values and visions that have historically guided Santa Fe’s plans for the future. 

This series consists of public discussions organized around a set of interrelated topics that have, and continue to shape our physical environment, our daily lives and our communities: planning, preservation, housing, and sustainability.  Each session will pair contemporary experts in architecture, planning and community development with  plans and studies commissioned by the City of Santa Fe over the last 50 years. Analysis and participatory discussions will inform, inspire and animate new collective visions for a more livable, equitable and sustainable Santa Fe.
