CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION SEMINAR SERIES
COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE • TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
LOOKING OVER THE HORIZON
Perspectives on Changes and Challenges in the Future of
the Built and Virtual Environment Professions and Industries
Friday, April 1, 2005 • Langford Architecture Center • Building B
Auditorium
• What will the future of the built and virtual environment hold
for students studying architecture, construction, land development,
landscape architecture, urban planning, or visualization?
• What challenges are emerging “just over the horizon” for
the professions and industries of the built and virtual environment
that will shape our collective futures?
• What are the issues that the faculty in the departments of the
College of Architecture should consider as they modify disciplinary
curricula so that our graduates will be equipped with the attitudes
of mind and habits of work to succeed in this new world?
As an initiation of the College of Architecture Centennial Celebration, we are
asking leaders of the built and virtual environment professions and industries
to share their insights about the challenges and opportunities emerging in our
futures at this Symposium event.
Four independent seminar sessions will feature 24 members of the College of Architecture
Dean’s Advisory Council, representing all components of the built and virtual
environment professions and industries. In each seminar session, one speaker
will present a 15- to 20-minute keynote of these changes and challenges, then
five responding panel members will share their views of the emerging issues facing
the professions and industries that will shape our collective futures. Questions
and observations from the students and faculty members in the audience will conclude
each forty-five minute session.
The four 45-minute sessions will consider all built and virtual environment
disciplines. Each session will be followed by a 15-minute break, allowing students
and faculty members who have other commitments to attend as many sessions as
possible. All sessions will be held in the new Langford Center Auditorium in
Building B. A list of the presenters and respondents in each session is attached,
along with a schedule of all four sessions.
