CONFERENCE

The HOPES conferences are organized by the students of the school of architecture. This year's conference focuses on the theme of Response:

Access to information is rapidly becoming a global standard for the first time in history. This super-connected network of minds is accelerating the speed of human innovation. Nevertheless, changing environmental conditions are reaching a crisis point, and even large scale responses can take years to have any effect. The decisions we make now will have lasting repercussions. How do we respond?
