On November 14, 2017 at the Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C., the National Civic Art Society hosted dialogue discussion on"Dramatic Cultural Change and the Future of Architecture."

The question was: In a time of increasing globalization, technological growth, and social alienation, what role ought architecture play? Should it keep pace with "modernity" and be equally au courant? Should it look back to tradition to encourage people to feel at home in the world? Or is there a third way?

Our speakers were architects Duo Dickinson and Michael G. Imber, FAIA.
