In its upcoming program for the brown bag series 25 Architects in 25 Weeks, the District Architecture Center will host a discussion with Ralph Cunningham, FAIA on the environmental, contextual, and other factors contributing to his design work. The program, entitled Building/Site/Landscape, will be held at noon on June 21, 2012. The District Architecture Center invites those who share an interest in green building and an integrated approach to architecture to attend.
Ralph Cunningham, of Cunningham/Quill Architects, has received numerous awards for both his modern and historic residential design and renovation. Most recently, his Mother & Child project won the 2011 Washingtonian Residential Design Award and the 2011 Northern Virginia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects Award of Merit. Mr. Cunningham will share his analysis of climatic, contextual, and other influences on building and landscape design. He will show examples of how these factors inform his work from conception to completion, and he will describe the integration of building and landscape in memorable indoor and outdoor spaces.
The Center is excited to welcome Mr. Cunningham and share the details of his stunning works, says Mary Fitch, Executive Director of AIA|DC. His discussion on landscape and building design and its impact on green and carbon neutral development is extremely relevant today, and will serve as a positive jumping-off point for open conversation.
The 25 Architects lunch series is typically hosted on the first and third Thursday of every month. Its held at the District Architecture Center, located at 421 7th St. NW, Washington, DC 20004.
