The ‘CONVERSATIONS in URBAN DESIGN’ Series is an initiative created and promoted by Professor Beyhan Karahan and led by MS.AURD Students in the ARCH 725 – Theories of Urbanism and Sub-urbanism.

The Series aims to create a platform for collaboration and exchange between students, academics, and the larger community on relevant issues of contemporary urbanization. Four Interviews have been conducted in Fall 2020, including AMALE ANDRAOS/DAN WOOD, FREDERICK STEINER, TIMOTHY BEATLEY, and TILMAN LATZ. The interviews will be released at the beginning of Spring 2021.
