Lecture Description: Our earliest memories and influences help to establish a foundation for future thoughts on design. Over time as architects we exercise our ideas into tangible form and continuously learn the value of our experience. Through a sequence of past and current projects, "Practicing" will demonstrate how experience has honed our skills and continues to drive our design.
Lecture Learning Objectives:
- At the end of this lecture, participants will leave with a sense of how to conceptualize a project from an initial central thought to guide their design.
- This lecture will present ways of approaching a potential client with a portfolio of past built work and skills applied.
- This lecture will show how outside influences and references can inform a project from conception to execution.
- This lecture will present a body of work with varied building programs relaying the varying concerns of private, public and civic minded architecture.
AIA members will receive 1 LU.
To receive credit for attending, attendees must sign in
