Join us Monday, September 9, at 5:30 p.m., for a free public lecture from architect Mimi Hoang, co-founding partner of Brooklyn-based nArchitects.

Hoang co-founded nARCHITECTS with Eric Bunge with a belief in architecture as an agent of positive change, responding to and connecting people with the environment in unexpected ways. Responding to our world in flux while fostering social engagement guides her work. Born in the tropics of Vietnam and trained in Amsterdam and New York City, she brings a global outlook and an obsession with greenery to the firm’s design culture. Hoang teaches graduate design studios as an adjunct associate professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation and previously taught at Yale University.

This event is part of the Sam Fox School’s Public Lecture Series and is free and open to the public. The lecture will take place in Steinberg Hall.

Free parking is available in the East End Garage beginning at 5:00 p.m. Enter the garage from Forsyth Boulevard or Forest Park Parkway.
