Business of Design

WHERE DESIGN MEETS BUSINESS

In this lecture series, we will explore a dynamic set of themes closely aligned with our Master in Business for Architecture and Design (MBArch). The MBArch is a program that looks at enabling architects and designers to become better managers, business developers and entrepreneurs. Our Business of Design Series, explores an array of topics, through the realms of entrepreneurship, communication, journalism, marketing, and more topics surrounding the narrative of architecture and design.

As we curate this series, we invite a diverse set of experts from distinct backgrounds, bringing their unique expertise on these fields of study.

Join us as we navigate the interplay of creativity, business, entrepreneurship, and communication within the world of built environment and design. Our series promises to be an enlightening and enriching experience that will shape your perspective and fuel your ambitions.
