At the invitation of the Academy of Architecture, the renowned sociologist Richard Sennett will enter into conversation with students from the Academy on Sunday 29 November.

It is an open discussion on the basis of corresponding themes from the work of Sennett and the current issues with which students are being confronted. Examples include the increasing pressure on the urban environment, the fragmentation of society and how the market and people can find their place in the contemporary urban environment. Living together means designing together; from the structures in which we live and work to the public space in which we meet each other.
