LITTLE ROCK — Marc Manack and Frank Jacobus will present a lecture at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Arkansas Arts Center, at Ninth and Commerce streets in Little Rock. The lecture, titled "Socialight," will follow a 5:30 p.m. reception.
This lecture is part of the Architecture and Design Network's 2015-2016 lecture series.
Manack and Jacobus are assistant professor and associate professor, respectively, in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas. Manack is the founding principal of SILO AR+D, an architecture and design firm with offices in Fayetteville and Cleveland, Ohio. Jacobus is a principal at SILO AR+D.
In the lecture, the pair will speak about their award-winning architectural, research and design collaborations. They will share their insights into the evolving function of architecture in regard to contemporary design, technology and changing perceptions of the built environment.
They still use traditional architectural methods and materials such as bricks and mortar, glass and steel, but they have sought out and experimented in unexpected ways with new, non-traditional materials and techniques for their designs. They use those in designing and making temporary and permanent structures, installations and objects with their combination of traditional and innovative techniques.
Their work has been widely published and has been featured in many outlets, including Dwell, Slate, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal.
The 2015-2016 Art of Architecture lecture series is sponsored by the Architecture and Design Network, with support from the Central Arkansas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Arkansas Arts Center, the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design and community members.
The lecture is free and open to the public, and no reservations are needed. For more information about this and other ADN programs, contact ardenetwork@icloud.com.
