How Soon is Now? is a year-long series of lectures, conversations, exhibitions, and events offering a glimpse into the distinctive culture of CCA Architecture. Through work, ideas, artifacts, and voices from across its history, the series makes visible some of the ways that culture has been formed, what it has produced, and the influence it has had within and beyond the school.

More excavation than retrospective, How Soon is Now? moves between past and present, surfacing connections among students, faculty, alumni, ideas, and work while remaining firmly engaged with the questions facing architecture today. Together, these fragments offer a portrait of a school through the culture it created and the work that culture made possible.
