The 2008 Ong Siew May Distinguished Lecture Series brought preeminent speakers from around the world to the Department of Architecture to lecture on topics related to “Sustain/Ability”. Probing into nature, density, tectonics, environment, growth, urbanism, and craft, architecture’s complex relationship with its ability to sustain is brought to bear, four distinct lectures have opened up, challenge, and enrich the way we think through sustainability, to challenge our assumptions of architecture and its seeming ability to change our environment.
