CEPT Announces Third Global Architecture Program with Historical Housing Dialogue

publication · 2026-04-08

Hey! So, CEPT Professional Programs has just rolled out the third group for their Global Practices in Architecture & Urban Design. This launch ties in with architect Sudipto Ghosh’s new book, "A Brief and Incomplete History of Stacking People," where he digs into different housing styles over time. He discusses various architectural forms like the Amer Haveli, Roman insula, and Tokyo capsule tower, touching on ideas of density, design, and community. Ghosh argues that buildings that can adapt to human needs and the environment last longer. You can check out this book on architecture.live, where they also announced the CEPT program for 2026.
