Urban Design, and more specifically infill design, has become one of the most desired types of development in the central city and surrounding residential neighborhoods. With continued concerns about the city's design review process, lack of neighborhood support and a host of other issues, architects often find it challenging to fully expressing themselves through their architecture.

After living and practicing architecture in Sacramento for several years, David Sarti of Flex Architecture will reframe this discussion, focusing on his "Little Red House" and discussing the opportunities created by building small, asking the question: "Why is Sacramento so slow to embrace modern Architecture?"  

David's affordable-modern approach to design has landed his "Little Red House" in countless blogs including Apartment Therapy, Future House Now and Small House Style in addition to the pages of Dwell magazine and Metropolis. By designing small, urban and affordable David sees this as an "Under the Radar" path to a more interesting Sacramento.

I'm sorry I will miss this - but it does bring up some interesting issues and I am sure some lively discussion. Is architecture about Architects being able to fully express themselves in what is considered a public realm? What is there about Modern Architecture (as expressed here) that makes it not embraceable? I have my opinions and observations, others will have theirs. I for one value a City that has variety and that speaks to context, to place, to region and yes, to fashion and expression. Let the mad, modern rumpus begin!
