Past Events

The US Fellowship has been around as long as the RSA itself, with Benjamin Franklin becoming a Fellow in 1756.  In those days Fellows met in London Coffee Houses to share ideas.  In 2010 Fellows meet in virtual coffee houses like this one and other social media sites, on project blogs, at RSA Comment and in the RSA Journal.  Of course Fellows are also networking in person at small and large events around the world.   Recent US Fellows’ events include:

  • New York: Climate, Copenhagen and Consequences, Nikhil Chandavarkar in conversation with David A. Andelman, February 2010
  • New York: Urban Sustainability and the New Architecture for the 21st Century, March 2010
