From April 15–19, 2026, faculty, PhD students, and alumni from the Weitzman School of Design, Architecture gathered in Mexico City for the 79th Annual Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) International Conference. Continuing a long-standing Penn tradition, the Weitzman PhD community met to reconnect and share their latest scholarly contributions. In addition to the Architecture PhD community, the attendance of historians of the built environment from various other Penn programs further enriched the gathering.
At this year’s conference, Graduate Group faculty member Prof. Fernando Lara, Ph.D. candidate Rami Kanafani, and Ph.D. student Marco Salazar Valle presented their latest research to an international audience of peers and architectural historians.
