In Person at Aura, 121 Center Street, Portland
BSLA is proud to be a longtime sponsor of Architalx. This annual Portland, Maine-based April speaker series is dedicated to broadening the awareness and understanding of architecture, landscape architecture, and design.
In some sense, our practice is guided by a propensity to gently challenge dogma. Ways of seeing, drawing, building and maintaining landscapes are often entrenched. Making a habit of questioning received information, especially when that information creates negative externalities, has led us on a happily idiosyncratic design derive. Join us for a discussion of some of the ways we refine our sieve, and a collective dreaming session about where things might flow from here.
