THE ARCHITECTURAL LEAGUE LECTURES
The Architectural League is cooking up some exciting lectures this month. Admission is 10$ in most cases unless a member. Perhaps since it's membership season and everyone has already donated to their favorite local public radio station maybe one more won't break the bank for that Architectural League backstage pass.
So let's start with the headliners and then move to the opening acts this month.

Also for those of us in podcasters anon there are a whole series of podcasts to download from the ongoing series 'Reimagining Risk, Landscapes of Risk'. Included in these podcasts are "critical responses, interviews, and essays". Just like school, only you get to duck out for coffee as frequently as you want and not miss a thing.
