Architecture doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

It is shaped by economics, politics, power and society. And few people interrogate those forces more sharply than Reinier de Graaf, Partner at OMA and co-founder of AMO.

His work looks beyond buildings to the systems, ideas and forces that shape the world architecture operates in.

But this is just one voice in a program built to challenge how you think about architecture and where the profession is heading.

Across two days, hear from leading thinkers and practitioners, get inside the realities of contemporary practice, make connections across the profession and leave with ideas you can take back to your work.

The National Mentoring Program gives Institute members two ways to connect:

1:1 mentoring: build a relationship with someone who can offer perspective on your career and practice. Gain guidance from experienced mentors while sharing your own lessons to uplift others.
Group Loops: learn with others tackling a shared challenge.

Be a mentor. Be a mentee. Be both. Or switch between the two.

Join the Institute’s National Mentoring Program.
