Frank Harmon, FAIA, principal of the award-winning firm Frank Harmon
Architect in Raleigh, NC, and a Professor in Practice in Architecture at
N.C. State University's College of Design, will discuss the evolution of
Modern architecture in the South. Using his own work as examples, he
will examine the elements and themes that inform contemporary Southern
architecture -- landscape; materials and construction (the "sticks and
stones" of a place); weather and climate; roof forms that shelter or
collect; and clients -- and illustrate the importance of "place" in the
process of creating innovative, sustainable, and appropriate
contemporary design.
