Keynote speaker: Jen Masengarb
Architecture and the city: A learning laboratory for young people 

We welcome you to the A&DO Seminar, an event where you can update your knowledge on current themes in architecture and design education! During the day-long event, we will explore the latest experiments in architecture and design education as well as the creative utilization of museum collections in learning. The seminar offers perspectives and ideas to support the teaching and learning of architecture. During the event, you will be able to follow, via practical examples, a variety of presentations on educational projects, as well as on the contents implemented using the methods of collaborative design. 

Exploring architecture is useful not only to those who intend to become architects. Architecture can inspire anyone to explore their surroundings. It can instil a desire in people to learn how to solve genuine design problems in their surroundings. In the future, these gradually honed design tools will prove useful in many ways! There is something to be learned from every building – be it modest or grand. As we learn to explore the everyday structures in our own lives, our neighbourhood can become a true learning laboratory. 

The seminar’s keynote speaker, Jen Masengarb, Executive Director of  the American Association of Architects (AIA) Chicago, will utilise her more than 20 years of experience at the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC), the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) and the AIA to provide the participants with creative ideas that will inspire their understanding of architecture. 

The seminar will be moderated by representatives of the A&DO project team: Hanna Kapanen, educational curator at the Design Museum, and Arja-Liisa Kaasinen, Head of Collaboration & Engagement at the Museum of Finnish Architecture.
