AIA Santa Fe Lecture Series

DESCRIPTION

The intent of the AIA Santa Fe Lecture Series is to bring unique architects to New Mexico to share their work and process from design to construction. The visiting architects are encouraged to discuss the pragmatic and technical elements of their work, and how it applies to contemporary society, from the regional to the global. This includes issues pertaining to sustainability, health, safety, and welfare, building systems and components, program, economics, development, and landscape.

Bringing diverse groups together from our community to be exposed to and discuss architectural issues is the intent of the series. We encourage all interested creative individuals to attend – from professionals to academicians including: AIA architects, non-AIA architects, landscape architects, engineers, designers, artists, professors, and student. Continuing education credits are provided to architects as part of attending the events.

The lecturers we have had join us for the series include Marlon Blackwell, Yung Ho Chang, Brad Cloepfil, Coleman Coker, Neil Denari, David Guthrie, Laurie Hawkinson, Carlos Jimenez, Wes Jones, and Russell Thomsen / Eric Kahn. We have collaborated with the following organizations / venues since 2008: University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning, Center for Contemporary Arts, New Mexico Museum of Art and Santa Fe Art Institute.

WORKSHOPS

We also provide architectural workshops in conjunction with the lectures. These are half-day to full-day events that further the implementation and discussion of the topics presented in the visitor’s lectures.

In addition to the Lecture Series, we have organized and offered tours of special architecturally-related projects since 2009 including Levan Hall by Lake Flato Architects, John Young Project by John Young, and Star Axis by Charles Ross.
