Guest Lectures and Events are an important part of the communal life at AD, specially our lecture events on Thursdays and we'd like you to join.
All FYE students are especially invited to come and enjoy the lectures with us.
Every Thursday with the exception of a few weeks at the beginning and end of semester, AD hosts a lecture series of invited guest presenters. The range of topics is wide, multidisciplinary sometimes, at others local community organizations, workshops and even out alumni come in to speak to us.
The time is always noon - 1 pm, and - normal times - a free lunch is served (PIZZA!) for all attending, speaking or dropping by if you are FYE.

Peter Stubb, AIA, LEED AP, Principal & Design Director, Gensler Baltimore.
As Design Director in Gensler’s Baltimore office, Peter leads an architecture studio that focuses on Commercial Office Buildings, Education, and Planning projects. A multifaceted designer, he has helped build an interdisciplinary studio that partners with clients to deliver thoughtful, award-winning projects. A gifted conceptual thinker, he has the tectonic sensibilities to tap into nuanced considerations of context, program, placemaking, and the human experience. Peter believes that good design is democratic, approaching social-impact projects with inclusive strategies built on listening to a community to understand its needs and drive positive change. It is this belief and dedication that has led him to serve as a regional community impact advisor for the firm.
He earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Maryland and a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently a member of the Board of Trustees for the Baltimore Design School.
