Architect Kathryn Dean will present a lecture titled “Constructive Continuum” at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at Hembree Auditorium (Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences Building, Room 107E) on the University of Arkansas campus.
This is the Lewis Architects and Engineers Lecture in the Fay Jones School of Architecture lecture series.
Dean is a founding partner of Dean/Wolf Architects in New York and is also director of the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design in the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. She will draw from her firm’s first monograph, which was published earlier this year and features 24 projects from the firm’s first 20 years.
Dean founded Dean/Wolf in 1991 with her husband, Charles Wolf. With contemporary residential architecture projects, the firm has completed dozens of homes and major interior renovations. The work has been featured in several exhibitions and more than a dozen books, including Forty Under Forty (1995) and The New City Home (2002), as well as in numerous architectural journals.
Major projects include Spiral House, a dramatically angled structure anchored to a 30-foot shear rock formation, which won a 1998 Design Excellence Award from the New York State chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA); and the Urban-Interface Loft, built in a former Tribeca electrical warehouse, which won both a Design Excellence Award and an Honor Award from the national AIA in 1998.
In 2007, Dean/Wolf won a New York AIA Honor Award for their Operable Boundary Townhouse Garden, which integrates interior and exterior spaces through a giant, pivoting steel-framed glass wall that is punctured by a continuous 30-foot-long table.
Admission is free, with limited seating. For more information, contact 479-575-4704 or architecture.uark.edu.
