2026 ACSA 114th Annual Meeting Proceedings

The work of design sits at the nexus of numerous forces, simultaneously channeling, responding to, and reflecting these forces. The products and processes of design can be seen to converge toward shared values and methodologies and to diverge in ways that embrace plurality, disruption, and innovation. The 114th ACSA Annual Meeting will emphasize the transformative potential of design thinking, convening educators, practitioners, and students into conversations about architectural pedagogy and production. The architectural history of Chicago will add to the context through tours and connections with the local schools and firms.
