    Roadtrip (12)! - Univ. of Michigan (Spring 2010)

    The University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture has posted their Spring 2010 Lecture/Symposium Series and has quite a few decent events and speakers coming up, enough to warrant yet another trip to Ann Arbor. I haven't found the lecture series poster yet (which for some reason is a big part of the lecture series to me, perhaps I just like marketing, etc.) but as soon as I do find it I will post it for your very own enjoyment.

    Lecture Series

    Lectures are at 6:30 PM in the A+A Lecture Hall, unless otherwise noted, Room 2104 at the Art and Architecture Building. Events are free and open to the public.
