SUMMARY:Spring Lecture Series: Radical Practice with Marlon Blackwell\, FAIA
DESCRIPTION:[REGISTER HERE]\nAIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation presents the 2024 Spring Lecture Series\, taking place on 4/04\, 4/10\, 4/17 and 4/25 at the MICA Brown Center. \nThis lecture offers 1.0 AIA LU HSW and 1.0 LACES PDH HSW. \nAIA\, ASLA and NOMA members may register at a discounted rate. \nWe are offering school students\, faculty and staff free admission! Please bring your school ID to show upon arrival. \nJoin us on April 17 at 6:00 PM for Radical Practice with Marlon Blackwell\, FAIA\, AIA 2020 Gold Medal Recipient. \nRegistration begins at 5:00PM. Join us for a reception at The Brass Tap immediately following the lecture! There will be apps\, open bar for the first hour\, and specialty cocktails available!  \n\nABOUT THIS LECTURE\nMarlon Blackwell will discuss his architecture and design process and will introduce ‘Radical Practice: The Work of Marlon Blackwell Architects’ a new monograph released in June 2022 by Princeton Architectural Press. \nBoth the book and the lecture emphasize projects in the public and civic realm\, emerging from outside the established centers of architectural culture\, illustrating the distinct and original voice of Marlon Blackwell Architects. Their iconic and award-winning designs span across typologies\, scales\, and budgets\, by merging the universal language of architecture and the particulars of place. The lecture will discuss the richness of the work\, its methods\, and its consequences and suggest an open-endedness\, at once generous and provocative\, to the practice’s trajectory and interest in what a “radical practice” can be in the contemporary moment. A core principle at the heart of the practice\, radical in its fundamental simplicity\, is the assertion of the making of buildings and places as a constant\, authentic focus…an architecture in the place\, of the place and for the place. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMarlon Blackwell\, FAIA \nMarlon Blackwell\, FAIA\, is the founding partner of Marlon Blackwell Architects (MBA) in Fayetteville\, Arkansas\, the E. Fay Jones Distinguished Professor at the University of Arkansas\, and the Spring 2024 John Portman Chair at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Blackwell is the recipient of the 2020 AIA Gold Medal\, the Institute’s highest honor recognizing those whose work has had an enduring impact on the theory and practice of architecture. Blackwell is a lifetime member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, a 2023 inductee of the American Academy of Arts and Science\, a 2019 Resident Fellow of the American Academy in Rome\, and a 2014 United States Artists Ford Fellow. Work produced in his professional office\, MBA\, has received recognition with significant publication and more than 160 design awards including the 2016 Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in Architecture. A monograph of Marlon’s early work\, “An Architecture of the Ozarks: The Works of Marlon Blackwell”\, was published in 2005 and a new monograph titled “Radical Practice”\, was published in 2022.

Baltimore Penn Station – reimagined by Gensler & Quinn Evans alongside Penn Station Partners & Amtrak – is one of those projects.

Light food and drinks will be also be available immediately following the lecture.  \n\nABOUT THIS LECTURE\nHow does underutilized urban infrastructure become world class parks? \nChip Place and Matthew Urbanski will present the political\, financial\, land acquisition\, planning\, design\, construction\, and long term management process that led to the creation of Bayou Greenways in Houston and Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York City. Inspired by landscape architect Arthur Comey’s 1912 plan for the City of Houston\, and encouraged by Buffalo Bayou Park through downtown\, Bayou Greenways 2020 transforms Houston’s other major waterways into linear parks with 150 miles of hike and bike trails. \nBrooklyn Bridge Park\, designed by Mathew’s firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates\, followed a community led process to reclaim 1.3 miles of the old industrial waterfront to create a diverse\, ecologically based and economically self-sustaining signature park. \nBoth projects represent key features of a greater parks renaissance in both cities and were conceived as essential to their cities’ resilience\, environment\, health and economies. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nCharles (Chip) H. Place AIA \nA graduate of the Rice University School of Architecture and the University of Houston Law Center\, Chip Place’s career has focused on large scale land development and the public policies of land use. \nEarly inspiration included working on the first Master Plan for Buffalo Bayou Park through downtown Houston. He went on to direct major land programs in New York and Houston including: \n\n5000 acres of land development projects in the Hudson Valley which he ended up selling for conservation as state parks and the protection of New York City’s water supply.\nThe planning and design of the economically self-sustaining\, world class\, Brooklyn Bridge Park encompassing 1.3 miles of the old industrial waterfront facing lower Manhattan.\nNumerous projects and major events for New York State Parks in New York City including the creation of another waterfront park in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn from a former railyard site.\nThe planning\, programming\, design\, land acquisition\, budget controls\, community engagement and construction of Bayou Greenways 2020 which transforms Houston’s major waterways into linear parks with 150 miles of hike and bike trails.\nFurther expanding Greater Houston’s public realm by directing Beyond the Bayous\, a landscaped based planning initiative that immediately generated additional park and greenway projects.\n\nChip is a member of the AIA and ABA and has served on many community and professional boards. He and his wife Mary live in Havre de Grace MD where he sits on the City Planning Commission. \nMatthew Urbanski \nMatt is a Partner at Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA)\, where he has planned and designed waterfronts\, parks\, college campuses\, and gardens in North America and across the world. Matt’s work is inspired by the power of landscape to affect the way people feel\, and he is devoted to making landscapes that draw on the unique capacities of each site. \nFor 25 years\, Matt taught an ecological approach to planting design at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. As the son of a family physician and a painter and ceramicist\, Matt believes that making landscapes is a matter of both wellness and artistic expression. Thirty years ago\, Matt and his father founded Red Hill Nursery\, a specialty plant farm that grows hard-to-find species that are unusual in shape and character.
