The results of these conversations will be published in collaboration with Seoul-based jeongye-c-publishers.

The participants will also share how they experienced the globally distributed multidisciplinary collaborative conversation between architects, designers, teachers, and researchers given the global pandemic and the physical distances and time differences.

* Tiki-taka or Tiqui-taca is a Spanish style of playing in football characterized by short passing and movement, working the ball through various channels, and maintaining possession. In this case, it is used to describe the act of passing ideas off one another in an informal way to test and further refine emerging ideas and thoughts through a series of conversations.
