Scott Moore y Medina and David Jaber of Blue Star Studio will speak in the next edition of CPID Talks, on Friday, February 12. The CPID Talks are aimed at fostering a dialogue about interesting work being done that is relevant to the public interest design field by inviting speakers from a wide variety of disciplines to share their work and thoughts in an informal setting. These talks are open to the public and held in the CPID office in the School of Architecture at PSU (Shattuck Hall 217).
