To side track a bit from
my Off Campus Project, I wanted to share a public event that will be free this
week from October 16th to October 17th: The Landscape Architecture Symposium
here in Buffalo, NY. There will be eight featured speakers discussing
about the examination of changing landscape of architectural patronage.
The symposium will open Oct. 16
with a panel, “Student as Instigator,” at 5:30 p.m. in the Greatbatch Pavilion,
125 Jewett Parkway, Buffalo, on the site of the Darwin Martin House. It will
feature guest speakers and UB architecture students in a discussion about the
role of emerging young designers in a shifting landscape for practice.
The schedule on Oct. 17 will
begin at 9 a.m. in Harriman Hall, South Campus. Events will include a series of
panels organized around the emerging roles of the architect—as an advocate
actively engaging new client bases, as a detective uncovering hidden conditions
and spaces, and as an initiator forging entrepreneurial and innovative business
models for architectural practice. A catered reception will follow at 7:30 p.m. in Kleinhans Music Hall, 3
Symphony Circle, Buffalo. For more information and reservation to this event, please click on the
