Guests were told the following: Jennifer Bonner’s grilled cheese and BLT sandwiches are made of arches, columns, and even some glazing that “borrow from past and recent history’s best practices for assembling sandwich architecture.” Fusing the spirit of the School’s tradition, Fridays’ Tea & Bikkies, and Jennifer Bonner’s Best Sandwiches, food items dictated our consumption of architecture then! If you’re hungry for a column-induced cookie or you’d like a stab at building your own edible window, claim a spot at the table before it’s too late. Together, let’s craft a set of custom questions and bikkies to be shared, consumed, and devoured with Bonner.

Table Manners is a series of academically engaging events that prioritizes bringing people together in unexpected ways that foster connection and interaction. Together, faculty, students, practitioners, theorists, and others partake in discussions through formats including, but not limited to dinner parties, picnics, games of musical chairs, performances, and more. The series also entails a series of closed-doors sessions—intimate conversations that encourage guests to discuss ideas that are not typically discussed in public, but which can lead to thoughtful collective action. Together, these sessions propose new forms of architecture through events, happenings, and other spatial detours.
