This presentation offers perspective on sources of inspiration, through the arts and technology, for contemporary design practice and philosophy.
Ann Beha will explore the work of three influential “non architects” who have shaped the environment, through preservation, adaptive use, and integration of new art forms. From these 20th century exemplars, the presentation will illustrate how such influences shape actual projects, focusing on projects that engage with and respond to buildings and settings of architectural heritage.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and specifically narrate the influence of three exemplars whose work has contributed to a broader understanding of the built environment.
- Identify tensions and convergences between contemporary design and historic settings.
- Explore approaches to technology, sustainability, and materials selection through specific examples of award winning design.
- Identify wider technical and philosophical obligations and opportunities for design practice.
