2020 has been a challenging year for the architectural academic community; students, academics and staff have been massively impacted by the disruptions and changes brought on by COVID-19. Throughout the year, the AASA has organised a Webinar series that addressed various issues and challenges faced by academic institutions; through insights of academics from various architecture schools worldwide, the series presented a wide range of responses, on multiple scales, to navigate the challenges of 2020. This last webinar of the year will bring the heads of schools from multiple Australasian schools of architecture for a roundtable discussion that examines the year past and navigates a path for the year ahead. Join us in what is surely a thought-provoking and enlightening discussion!
