The annual Architecture Design Charrette is an Abedian School of Architecture calendar highlight. This event involves first-year students joining a team with second-year and master’s students to work on a design-orientated task under the guidance of a guest architect. With the help of industry experts and academics, they work to tackle a real-life architecture design task. Through this event, architecture students are given the opportunity to dive into their craft, meet new people, and hear from internationally acclaimed designers in the field of architecture at the ASA Lecture at the close of the charrette. This year's speaker is renowned architect Tristan Schultz, Founder and Director at Relative Creative.
