Transmutations of Place
Owens Corning

The 10th Annual Celebration of Architecture Week in Toledo kicks off with "Transmutations of Place" by Marlon Blackwell, FAIA

Blackwell, working outside the architectural mainstream, will discuss his architecture and design process as being based in design strategies that draw upon vernaculars and building typologies and the contradictions of place; strategies that seek to transgress conventional boundaries for architecture. Blackwell will demonstrate how ideas and actions are generated from careful observations of intersections of nature-made and culture-made conditions particular to an architectural situation. Using examples of selected design works from his firm, Marlon Blackwell Architect, he will demonstrate that a resilient architecture can be achieved as interplay between details, form, and place. In particular, he will illustrate the necessity of being responsive to environmental factors, the specificities of site, and sustainable design principles that ultimately provides an architecture that can be felt as much as it is understood, as immediate and tactile as it is legible, contributing to the fundamental civic dignity of communities.

Lecture is FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC however, registration is required.

BGSU Student Symposium on Design
BGSU Park Avenue Building

The symposium is inspired by Berger's argument where the act of questioning is weighed with the most critical role in enabling innovation, problem solving, and advancement in one's personal life and career. The symposium is intended to build discourse around the topics of architecture, design, and innovation through reflections on their theoretical underpinnings and successful patterns in the past, present, and future.
