WHERE: AIA Conference Room, 1400 S Street (enter from 14th Street; accessible)

PRESENTER: Matthew Piner, Owner/Principal, PinerWorks Architectural & Building Group
TOPIC: Integrating Climate + Form: A Valley City in Paradise ... please see attached flyer and feel free to post it in your workplace, if such posting is authorized.

PROGRAM DETAILS:
How do designers' and builders' responses to climate become elements of architectural form and style? Sacramento architect and green builder Matt Piner will discuss examples from local, global, and historical perspectives on certain architectural forms that are so prominent as to have their own name originated as building responses to the peculiarities of local climates.
 

VISUALS: Sacramento designer Noel Cruz, in collaboration with Matt Piner, has produced a slide show of images to illustrate the relationship between climate and architectural forms. These images will replay throughout the presentation and the dialogue.
 

LIGHT REFRESHMENTS: UDA will provide pretzels and filtered water. If you would like to bring additional food or drink to share, please feel free to do so.
 

VOLUNTEERS: If you are available to come by the AIA Conference Room at 5:00 p.m. on January 27 to help set up the room, we would greatly appreciate your help.
