Culturally Expressive Environmental Design - Case Studies

Jack Travis, FAIA, NOMAC; Architect, Studio of Jack Travis
Saturday, 10:30 a.m. – Noon | CEU: 0.1 [W #6571 2.12]

As an environmental designer, Travis is ever concerned with the dynamics of how people use space. He easily compares and contrasts the marketplace in an African city to a large mall in a major metropolitan area anywhere in the United States. His contention is that there are cultural differences in other typologies, such as residential, commercial, and spiritual worship that we have yet to recognize and respond to through design.  Participants will have their eyes opened by insightful case studies of Black cultural influence on design and sustainability.
