Joel Sanders will present a lecture titled “Groundwork: Between Landscape and Architecture” at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22, at Hembree Auditorium (Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences Building, Room 107E) on the University of Arkansas campus.

Sanders is principal of his New York-based studio, Joel Sanders Architect. He is also a professor of architecture at Yale University. Previously, he taught at Princeton University and the Parsons School of Design, where he was the Director of the Graduate Program in Architecture.

Joel Sanders combines teaching with practice and speculative projects with built commissions, dedicating his work to the creation of innovative environments in response to today’s rapidly changing culture. Two themes central to his work include the interface of landscape and architecture in recognition of the fluid connection between natural and synthetic, exterior and interior; and the impact of new media on the spaces of every day life.

The public is invited to attend this lecture, which is presented by the Fay Jones School of Architecture. This is the Mort Karp Memorial Lecture, sponsored by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects.
