Description

Join members, sponsors, and friends of both AIA Indy and AIA Fort Wayne for a Happy Hour following the Marlon Blackwell, FAIA lecture at Ball State University CAP|Muncie. The happy hour will take place at Elm Street Brewing, 519 North Elm Street, Muncie. Beer, wine, soft drinks, and pizza will be provided. Information regarding the lecture: Marlon Blackwell, FAIA, will discuss his architecture and design process and introduce Radical Practice: The Work of Marlon Blackwell Architects, a monograph released this year by Princeton Architectural Press. A reception will take place at 4 p.m. in the first-floor art gallery of the Architecture Building with Mr. Blackwell’s lecture beginning at 5 p.m. in AB 100. Both the book and the lecture emphasize projects in the public and civic realm, emerging from outside the established centers of architectural culture, illustrating the distinct and original voice of Marlon Blackwell Architects. Their iconic and award-winning designs span across typologies, scales, and budgets, by merging the universal language of architecture and the particulars of place. The lecture will discuss the richness of the work, its methods, and its consequences and suggest an open-endedness, at once generous and provocative, to the practice’s trajectory and interest in what a “radical practice” can be in the contemporary moment. A core principle at the heart of the practice, radical in its fundamental simplicity, is the assertion of the making of buildings and places as a constant, authentic focus. This lecture has been approved for 1.0 AIA LU. Ball State will collect information from members prior to the lecture for CE credit. Please make sure to sign-in prior to the lecture.
