The year 2023 marks an important milestone for the School of Architecture, highlighting its achievements over three decades since its establishment. To celebrate the exceptional contributions of its alumni (namely CUA) in the design professions and society over the past years, the School proudly presents “(CUA)rchitect”, an interactive and story-telling exhibition that engages the general public with CUA showcasing some of their design works in and beyond architecture.
The “(CUA)rchitect” Exhibition offers visitors a brand-new perspective on the range of interests and specialisations a professional architect can develop after graduation. While architects play crucial roles as artists, design-thinkers, starter-uppers, programmers and more, citizens from all walks of life also contribute constantly and collectively in shaping the city’s culture and developing its architecture.
A meaningful relationship has grown between architects and the public, beginning from cooperative community-engaging participation previously to co-creating, co-designing, and multi-generative, human-centric joint efforts today. In this exhibition, visitors are invited to take part in a “Which (CUA) Are You” test and set off on a playful and insightful architectural journey to discover what kind of architect that one might be.
