Event Description

We are convinced that interactions with natural phenomena, in addition to optimizing resources, deeply link architecture to its surroundings.

These interactions give a real and intense meaning to the spaces, awakening the most emotional dimension of architecture, transforming inert matter into something alive. Every time architecture makes these natural phenomena evident and “the invisible” appears, the link with the natural environment is established again, providing life to the building and turning the experience into something transcendent, sensitive and deeply connected to its cycles and biorhythms.

This event is supported by the Margaret McCurry Lectureship Fund.

Audience members are eligible for 1.5 AIA Continuing Education Learning Units after attending this event. Please visit the AIA website for more information.
