Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Architects (NLAA) 2016 Public Architecture Lecture Series - Lecture #1

The Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Architects (NLAA) are hosting their annual Public Lecture Series featuring national and international architects and designers. The 2016 Lecture Series features three architects or urban planners from various backgrounds and design perspectives that pertain to architectural and urban design issues in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Lecture Series was created, as a mandate of the Public Awareness Committee of the NLAA, with the intention of increasing the awareness of architecture and of our built environment in Newfoundland and Labrador as well as setting the stage for a designed based dialogue about the cities, towns and outport communities across the province. Each lecturer is chosen based on their respective portfolios of work and research that is related to the current built environment in Newfoundland and Labrador. By sharing with us their ideas and designs for similar issues the hope is that this series can engage the public in a discussion about the future of our built environment in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The first lecturers of the NLAA Public Lecture Series are Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, partners of the New York based studio Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects | Partners. Tod Williams was born in Detroit, MI and received his undergraduate, MFA, and Architecture degrees from Princeton University. Billie Tsien was born in Ithaca, NY and received her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from Yale University and her Master of Architecture degree from UCLA. They began working together in 1977 and founded their studio in 1986.
