Spring Lecture Series

Mirror Image

For more than 40 years, AIA Baltimore and the Baltimore Architecture Foundation have been pleased to present an annual lecture series devoted to design and architecture in Baltimore, thanks to the loyal support of the architecture community.

We are excited to continue this tradition with the 2025 Lecture Series, exploring the theme, Mirror Image. This year’s series will explore our shared experiences – we will investigate how Baltimore is reflected in other cities across the globe. These Mirror Images will address issues including resiliency of urban waterfronts, systemic racism within American cities, and alternative means of development focusing on community-led endeavors.

 

ABOUT THE LECTURES

We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Maryland Chapter of ASLA to provide 1.0 LA CES HSW and a discounted member ticket for every lecture.

We will also continue to provide discounted member tickets to NOMA members, and free admission to students.
