Nathan Hume: How Soon is Now?

Nathan Hume’s teaching and professional work focus on how drawing and building expertise can empower architects to respond to the social, environmental, and political crises shaping the built world. Through curating exhibitions and symposiums, he has fostered networks that expand architectural discourse and bring new voices and perspectives into the field. As principal of Hume Architecture and a licensed architect, Hume is recognized for his explorations in materiality, making, and representation, fields that continue to define and challenge contemporary practice. His design work and writing have appeared in Curbed, Project, Log, Posit, Tarp, Paprika, Film Comment, and The New York Times, with exhibitions at The Druker Gallery, the A+D Museum, Yale Architecture Gallery, and the New York Center for Architecture.

Nathan will present a series of observations on SCI-Arc and the current state of the architectural discipline. The lecture will reflect on contemporary architectural culture, education, and practice. Nathan will also share recent work from his office, Hume Architecture, highlighting ongoing research, design approaches, and built projects.
