Lecture: Stephen Luoni

Stephen Luoni will present a lecture at 12 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27, in Ken and Linda Sue Shollmier Hall, Room 250 of Vol Walker Hall, on the U of A campus as part of the fall 2025 lecture series in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design.

In his lecture, “American Porch Life: Social Worlds Beyond the Household,” Luoni will explore the porch as a deeply civilizing force in the development of American cities and institutions. Rather than simply seeing the porch as an element added to a house, Luoni suggests that it is more useful to consider its liminality and mutability in grasping the porch’s true transformational social agency.
