Center for Architecture Lab: AR/VR Tools for Storytelling

*This event is occurring as a live webinar. Registrants will be emailed a link to access the program.*

Join the Indigenous Scholars of Architecture, Planning, and Design (ISAPD) as they plug into the AR/VR world and explore the ways in which these tools can preserve and teach traditional lifeways and imagine the future of communities, all while expanding how these technologies can be applied in architectural practice. A series of projects will be presented that dive into contemporary Indigenous housing, the history of site, and how imagined environments of the future inform how communities are built today.
