Chiafang Wu “kicked off” the First Year Lunch Lectures, introducing the work of Diploma Unit 8 and ROEWUarchitecture.
She brought the following questions to the FY:

2. Is architecture scientific or artistic?

(Andreas Lang and Susana Gonzalez, curators of the Alternative Practice and Research Initiative cluster, introduced their cluster topic to FY and Foundation students.)
