The School of Architecture (SOA) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is excited to announce its celebrated lecture series for the 2025–2026 academic year. This inspiring program will feature an outstanding lineup of distinguished speakers from leading architecture institutions and dynamic design practices, inviting FAU students, faculty, and the wider community to partake in compelling discussions and innovative architectural perspectives.

This year’s poster, a visually captivating design with dramatic folds and energetic symmetrical creases, was created by FAU’s SOA Director Joseph Choma to mirror the intellectual vibrancy of the lecture series. The layered lines and three-dimensional pattern reinforce the idea of dynamic exchange and creative transformation at the heart of the upcoming events. This lecture poster along with more information about the design is featured on Archinect.
