Heading to Austin for South by Southwest? Connect with CAPLA!
When
The University of Arizona is bringing the sights, sounds, colors, tastes and smarts of the Sonoran Desert to Austin for South by Southwest—and the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture is leading the way!
Join us for this wonder-filled experience:
Friday, March 13 – Sunday, March 15, 2020
11 a.m. - Midnight
The University of Arizona WONDER HOUSE
Fogo de Chao in Austin
Not only did Architecture Professor of Practice Michael Kothke design the WONDER HOUSE—transforming Fogo de Chao to an immersive experience that incorporates surround stages, a bar, lounges, a rooftop terrace and a digital oasis—but several of the SXSW speakers and innovators represent CAPLA, including:
Make Every Drop Count: Kirk Dimond, Aletheia Ida and Michael Kothke
Saturday, March 14, 2 p.m. on the Surround Stage
What can architecture and landscape architecture research and design practices in the Sonoran Desert teach us about environmentally sensitive built spaces across the globe? How can we build smarter and in alignment with the natural world to minimize our impact? Moderated by John Malmborg.
Don't Give Up on Delight: Jeff Shelton
Sunday, March 15, 2 p.m. on the Surround Stage
Challenging the expected building aesthetic is just the norm for architect Jeff Shelton. Buildings are the background to our lives. Much of what we face each day in our world, our country and our cities is unsettling. There has never been a time when it is more important that our built environment support our human need for fun, beauty and joy. Experience the unexpected.
