Fall 2019 APLA Lecture Series Welcomes El Dorado, Principals David Dowell & Josh Shelton
2019-10-23 15:30
El Dorado Here and Now

Established in 1996, EL DORADO is an integrated architecture, urban design, curatorial, education and fabrication practice with studios in Kansas City, Missouri, and Portland, Oregon. In the beginning, as equal parts art gallery, fabrication shop and design studio, ELDO was known for fingerless gloves and raffish outbursts that helped jumpstart Kansas City’s emergent culture. Today, we work purposefully across scales and contexts, from city blocks to exhibitions, between critical ideas and an intangible, spiritual attachment to place. EL DORADO’s two partners and 19 staff — including 11 architects, a university professor, curators, industrial designers and certified welders — chase big ideas with a common touch.

EL DORADO was named the #16 Design Firm in 2017 ARCHITECT 50, #11 in 2016, and appeared in Curbed’s 2015 inaugural class of Groundbreakers. In 2008 the Architectural League of New York recognized El Dorado as an Emerging Voice. ELDO’s work has been published in Aeroflot Inflight, Art in America, Azure, Architectural Digest, Architectural Record, CityLab, DETAIL China, Dwell, Entrepreneur Magazine, Kansas City Star, Metropolis, New York Times, Slate and SPACE Korea. The practice is the recipient of numerous international and national peer-reviewed accolades, including American Architecture Awards; AZ Awards; RADA Awards; Interior Design Best of Year Awards; Metal in Architecture Awards; inclusion in the Annual Design Review; and AIA National, Regional and Local Design Excellence Awards.

Fall 2019 APLA Lecture Series Welcomes Sarah Cowles, Principal of Isthmus Group Landscape Architecture
2019-10-28 15:30
Steering into the skid

Sarah Cowles is a founding partner of Isthmus Group LLC. For Cowles, every site project is a forum to negotiate and invent new relationships of ecology and culture. She begins with the given, the site and its history, layering new elements that amplify the inherent intelligence of the site to construct new landscape identities and stories. Her expertise in landscape planning and design spans a range of scales, including master planning for cultural institutions, ecological rehabilitation of industrial, natural disaster, and mining sites, and urban and residential landscape design. Her prior experience includes practice with TLS Landscape Architecture, where she coordinated site design of the US Consulate in Guangzhou, and large-scale urban redevelopment projects in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Treasure Island and Hunters Point Shipyard.
As a professor of Landscape Architecture in professional programs in the United States, she has held positions at The Ohio State University, Washington University, and most recently, The University of Southern California. Her courses and studios include the technical and the pragmatic to the inventive and theoretical. In 2012, she was a Fulbright Scholar in Urban Design at the Tbilisi State Academy of the Arts.
She is a frequent contributor to Landscape Architecture Magazine, and the author of “Market Imperatives” in The Archive of Transition, a collection of photographs and essays on post-Soviet culture and urbanism of Tbilisi. Cowles received her Master of Landscape Architecture from Harvard University’s GSD and her BFA from the California College of the Arts. She is @ditch_daily on Instagram

2021 Building Technology Educators’ Society Conference
2021-06-10 - 2021-06-12
The Building Technology Educators’ Society advances design education by disseminating its members’ work and facilitating their interaction. This is critical not only for students of the building disciplines, but also for those who rely on the work of those future professionals. The BTES Conference is both a celebration of this effort and its most dense expression. Auburn University is a Land Grant institution that prides itself on a robust balance of teaching, research, and outreach efforts within its region, and because of its transdisciplinary contributions to the built environment and location in the deep south, we extend the theme of a conference Out of Bounds.
