JAVIER SANCHEZ TO VISIT APDESIGN NEXT WEEK
Mexico City architect Javier Sanchez will give a lecture at 4 p.m. next Tuesday, October 16, 2012, in the Hemisphere Room at Hale Library. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Sanchez is the founding partner, lead designer and director of the architectural workshop of JSA design development, formerly known as Higuera + Sanchez between 1996 and 2007. Javier Sanchez graduated as an architect with honors from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), Mexico and received his master degree in Sciences and Development of Real Estate Projects from Columbia University in New York. He was selected Honorary Fellow for the American Institute of Architects and he received the Golden Lion for Urban Project at the Biennale of Architecture of Venice for the project Republica de Brasil 44.

PETER STUTCHBURY LECTURE WEDNESDAY
Peter Stutchbury, principal of Peter Stutchbury Architecture (PSA) in Australia, will deliver a lecture for APDesign students at 4 p.m. Wednesday, October 10, in the Little Theatre at the K-State Student Union.
Stutchbury’s philosophy is described: “Peter sees buildings as rooms of education - the bridge between walking in the bush and wandering through the mind. Ultimately people are the act of integration within a true work of architecture.”
PSA is well known in Australia for their innovative approach to sustainability and design within the practice of architecture. A principal of the firm, Peter Stutchbury has practiced independently since 1981 producing a wide variety of work. Projects have been published and acclaimed internationally. PSA’s work is represented in both editions of Phaidon’s World Atlas.
Since 1995 the firm has won 44 Royal Australian Institute of Architects Awards, including 13 National Awards. In 2003 PSA became the first practice to win both of the nation’s major architectural Awards, repeating this feat in 2005.
If you can’t catch Peter Stutchbury on Wednesday, he will be lecturing at the Kansas City Design Center at 6 p.m. on Thursday, October 11. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. prior to the lecture. All are invited to attend.
