O Keynote: Abstract Unions
1 HSW
9 AM – 10:15 AM
AIA Gold Medal winner Marlon Blackwell and his wife, Meryati, will discuss their architecture and design process that draws upon vernaculars, building typologies and the contradictions of place strategies that seek to transgress conventional boundaries for architecture. Rather than a removal from reality, abstraction is the process of connecting to place, looking for possibilities of maximum meaning with minimal means. Using examples of selected design works from their firm, they will speak to a resilient architecture that can be achieved as interplay between details, form and place.
Speakers: Marlon Blackwell, FAIA and Meryati Blackwell, AIA, ASID, LEED AP / Marlon Blackwell Architects
