Winged Creatures: where do architects go after they graduate? With confirmed speakers and respondents: Martha Rawlinson, Meneesha Kellay, Lilli Kudic, Carlos Peters, Angel Borrego Cubero, Gregory Volotalo,Takako Hasegawa and MAciej Woroniecki

This second session focuses on the outcomes of architecture education to discuss the process by which graduates collide with the reality (or the Real) of the profession which they might have sporadically encountered during their studies. Speakers, respondents and attendees are invited to question both the ‘after’ and the ‘beyond’; they will reflect on the ways architecture education is usually celebrated and promoted as paving alternatives for its graduates, who can ‘design their own escape routes’ on a variety of professional paths, from fashion, stage design, to film-making, publishing etc.

The Shadow Series intends to turn the (usually) shadow condition of AA members and alumni into a shadowing force that debates architecture at the present scale of an expanded AA. Unlike the global school, in which the AA ventures across a variety of locations, the shadow series is an intimate event, held at the institution’s core, that assembles the AA’s bodies and brains to debate current architecture issues and processes. Held every third Thursday of the month, from 7–8.30pm, on a variety of topics.
