NC State Spring Architecture Lecture Series

NC State has finalized their spring lecture series, held jointly with AIA Triangle. All lectures are free and open to the public. They are held Monday nights at 7 pm in Burns Auditorium.

February 8th Dana Buntrock, Associate Professor of Architecture at UC Berkeley.

February 15th Frank Harmon, NC State Professor of Architecture and Raleigh-based architect will hold the annual Harwell Hamilton Harris lecture.

March 29th Will Bruder, Phoenix-based architect.

April 19th Thomas Barrie, NC State Professor of Architecture and architectural philosophy researcher and writer will be talking about his new book, The Sacred In-Between: The Mediating Roles of Architecture.

It should be an exciting set of of lecturers and most likely the auditorium will be full since there are only four dates on the calendar. Be there early to be sure you get a seat.

Monica Ponce de Leon lecture NEXT Monday (7PM, Nov 9)

Next Monday night (Nov 9) there will be a fantastic, open to the public, lecture at NCSU's Burns Auditorium at 7 pm. Monica Ponce De Leon will be speaking about her work with Office DA (as co-founder and principal) and possibly some of her efforts as the new dean at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Michigan. Office DA does great work and we've heard that her lectures are not to be missed. Be there early if you want to get a good seat, it should be packed.

NC State Announces Architecture Lecture Series

This past week, NCSU's School of Architecture announced its 2009-2010 lecture series that it holds jointly with AIA Triangle. All lectures will be held Mondays nights at 7:00, in Burns Auditorium, and are free and open to the public. The College of Design is trying to have a lecture every Monday night, through one of the departments within the College. That way, people just get in the habit of attending the lectures.

There are some great lecturers coming in this year. Here's a look at the upcoming architecture lectures this fall. Rather than writing a lengthy bio on each, I've included a link to their websites.

August 31st Marlon Blackwell who has his own practice in addition to teaching full-time at University of Arkansas.

November 9th Monica Ponce de Leon, Principal at Office dA.
