Goldsmith Talks: Landscape City vs. Compact City with Barron Peper and Christina Hunter

Barron Peper and Christina Hunter [B.Arch. 2015 candidates] are part of an urban studio this spring led by Juan Miró that is exploring the potential behind The Brackenridge Tract, a 368 acre plot of pristine land along Lady Bird Lake donated to UT "for the betterment of the University." The presentation will highlight findings from the studio's visit to Spain where they investigated compact city models and a variety of housing typologies alien to the United States. Join us for a discussion of how developments in Austin can blend high density with relationship to nature.

"Goldsmith Talks" is an open-format series of presentations organized by UTSOA faculty, staff, and students. Goldsmith Talks aims to encourage and promote presentations that are outside of the scope of the main lecture series. Examples are: invited seminar presentations, book talks, lectures by designers and scholars who may be in Austin for another engagement, round-table discussions, film screenings, product demonstrations, or any other activity related to research, scholarship, and teaching activities and at the school. The format provides a platform for encouraging the dissemination of work by visitors and members of our community. The goal is to raise awareness, increase access, and better integrate such events within the public life of the school.
