The Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, established in 1975, is a non-profit education and research center that specializes in life cycle planning and design. Headed by Pliny Fisk III and Gail Vittori, The Center pursues projects that emphasize regional contexts as bases for responsible resource use relative to materials, energy, water, waste, food, and meaningful employment.
Presented by Coleen Gentles, School of Architecture, CRP Program, Class of 2016 and Dr. Sandra Rosenbloom, School of Architecture, Research Professor, Fellow of Hampton K. and Margaret Frye Snell Endowed Chair in Transportation; Editor of the Journal of the American Planning Association.
The lecture will discuss the work currently exhibited at UTSOA's Mebane Gallery. The exhibit displays the architectural work, drawings and sketches from Vincent Snyder’s 11-month residency resulting from his Rome Prize in Architecture (2014-2015). Much of the work includes three (3) Texas-based projects influenced by the varied contexts of Italy, Rome, and the Academy.
On Friday, April 22, the Center for American Architecture and Design hosted Brent Chamberlain as part of the Friday Lunch Forum series.
Roughly every other Friday during the fall and spring semesters, the Center hosts the Friday Lunch Forum Series. The aim of the series is for faculty, staff, and students to meet in an informal atmosphere to debate topics and to share ideas about history, practice, theory, and new directions for architecture. Recordings of each forum will be posted as they become available.
Your interview should resemble a conversation, we're going to tell you why.
Event will be hosted by Career Services on April 21, 2016 in the Green Chair Room (Sutton 2.110) at 12:30pm.
