Join us in conversation this Friday January 29 at 4:30 pm for a panel discussion with UA SoA Alumni. Follow the link in bio to register for this virtual event

This panel discussion brings together five School of Architecture alumni whose post-graduation trajectories, spanning two to ten years, have taken them to work in a diversity of firms (ranging in scale, location and typology); specializations and allied fields, as well as masters’ and doctoral studies. Our guests this semester include We'Aam Al-Abdullah (PhD Candidate, Landscape Architecture, UVA), Harvard GSD '16 and UA '13; Dulce Arambula (Richärd Kennedy Architects) UCLA '19, UA '15; Tasanee Durrett (Design Professional Architects Design Group in Winter Park, FL and Founder, H.E.A.L.) UA '17; Jeffrey Moser (Computational Design Specialist, Grimshaw Architects) UA '18; Paul Frederickson (Senior Associate, SHoP Architects) UA '11.

Please join us, and bring your questions, for a lively conversation moderated by SoA Associate Professors Beth Weinstein and Susannah Dickinson.

First Lecture of the semester- we hope to see you all tomorrow. Follow linktree to register for this virtual event.

Dr. Kristina M. Currans is an Assistant Professor of Urban Planning in CAPLA with a doctorate in Civil Engineering. In her research, Dr. Currans explores the intersection between travel behavior and land development, between transportation planning and engineering. She aims to understand why, where, and how people do activities through space and time, and how that knowledge can be translated in practical ways that help cities’ build towards their communities’ goals and objectives.



Conventional practices evaluating transportation impacts of land development often overlook the substantial evidence that oversupplied parking further induces vehicle use, especially in areas with existing robust alternative-mode accessibility. In this lecture, Dr. Currans examines the relationship between residential parking supply and household vehicle use, starting from the literature and extending into applied examples. While conventional engineering and planning practices have historically treated parking as a static mitigation for addressing the transportation impacts of new development, our work indicates that parking supply is and should be treated as a dynamic characteristic of the built environment and a policy-lever for reducing vehicle use in urban, multimodal areas.

Please join us THIS FRIDAY 10/23 at 4:30pm for the next event in the CAPLA Lecture Series, as we welcome HK Associates (Kathy Hancox and Michael Kothke).

HK Associates, Inc is an award-winning architecture firm made up of husband and wife team Kathy Hancox and Michael Kothke.

Before forming HK Associates, Michael and Kathy followed largely independent but parallel career paths, with each making significant contributions to internationally recognized architecture firms in both Canada and the United States: Patkau Architects, Peter Cardew Architects, Acton Johnson Ostry, Lundberg Design, SOM, and Leddy Maytum Stacy.

An opportunity to work together with Rick Joy brought them to Tucson in 2003 where they fell in love with the desert, later establishing HK Associates.

HK believes in the power of thoughtful design to enrich life, and views every project as an opportunity to create something meaningful.

"Striving for elegance and honesty in design, our creative approach is client and site-specific, structuring spaces and moments that are timeless and contextual. For us, architecture is a process of revealing that results in places that reveal. We work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs, constraints and aspirations. From this, we develop a full and deliberate design that holds the potential to offer further insights as the project is realized. Once a work of architecture is inhabited by our clients, it's fullness begins - architecture reveals when the acts of daily life and the cycles of the environment meet the original design intentions."

Good design is inherently sustainable.

Join us this Friday, Sep. 18th @ 4:30pm as Presents “Designing the Problem” as part of the 2020 Virtual Building Tour Series. LINK IN BIO FOR REGISTRATION.

Benjamin Hall Design, founded in 2011, is a Phoenix-based design practice. We are committed to the lost profession of Master Builder, one who can perform both design and construction tasks. From conceptualizing projects including all necessary documents for construction, to fruition Benjamin Hall design will work side-by-side with contractors, swinging hammers and welding steel.
