Join us at the KCDC studio for a virtual screening of renowned structural engineer Guy Nordenson as he delivers a lecture on his work in climate adaptation and structural engineering. As a professor at Princeton University and founder of his own firm, Nordenson has been at the forefront of waterfront development research, including his post-Hurricane Sandy contributions to New York’s climate resilience efforts.

The College of Architecture, Planning & Design (APDesign) at Kansas State University is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Ekdahl Lecture Series. This milestone will be celebrated with a series of special lectures and a discussion panel from October 23 to October 24, 2024, featuring prominent speakers from the fields of landscape architecture, design, and structural engineering.

The Ekdahl Lecture Series, named in honor of the distinguished architect Oscar S. Ekdahl, continues to serve as a forum for students, professionals, and the public to explore innovative ideas that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Ekdahl, a Kansas State University alumnus, graduated in 1933 with a Bachelor of Architecture. His dedication to excellence in architecture and design is embodied through this lecture series, which annually invites thought leaders from across the globe to share their expertise and vision.
