About this Event

Join WORKac co-founders Amale Andraos and Dan Wood for a lecture on their new book, (Park Books, 2025). The volume highlights ten recent projects—including the Mission Rock Building B in San Francisco, North Boulder Library, RISD’s Student Success Center, and the Miami Museum Garage—that explore architecture’s capacity to support both ecological systems and human communities. Through design that engages cultural and environmental contexts, WORKac advances a vision of social and environmental sustainability at once pragmatic and imaginative.


Amale Andraos is co-founder and principal of WORKac, and Professor and Dean Emeritus of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation—the first woman to lead the school. A widely recognized thought leader, she has contributed to the field through teaching, lectures, and publications, including Architecture and Representation: the Arab City. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Andraos has served on numerous international juries and advisory boards, including the Aga Khan Award and the New Museum’s New Inc Advisory Council.

Dan Wood is co-founder and principal of WORKac, a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and former Vice President for Design Excellence of AIA New York. His publications, co-authored with Amale Andraos, include Buildings for People and Plants, We’ll Get There When We Cross That Bridge, 49 Cities, and Above the Pavement, the Farm!. Wood has taught widely, with appointments at Columbia GSAPP, Yale, UC Berkeley, and the University of Toronto, among others. Originally from Rhode Island, he is a licensed architect in New York, Rhode Island, and Colorado, and is LEED certified.
