ART | ARCHITECTURE | CRAFT: a museum for the future
Free and open to the public
The Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism is pleased to acknowledge the Ottawa Regional Society of Architects (ORSA) as a sponsor of this lecture.
LECTURE & EXHIBITION
Jennifer Luce, a California-based architect and Carleton University architecture alumna, will discuss recent projects, including the transformation of the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, CA. The museum is a public institution that collects, conserves, and exhibits folk art, craft, and design.
The lecture will be followed by an opening reception for an exhibition of the work of Luce’s firm, LUCE et studio. The exhibition is in Art Engine, Arts Court, 2 Daly Avenue (within the Ottawa Art Gallery building.)
LUCE et studio is a collaborative architecture/design group that follows the legacy of the workshop/atelier model. The firm’s cross-disciplinary approach supports and advances creative exploration with an array of practitioners, including designers, artists, craftspeople, and thinkers.
The studio prides itself on exploring each programmatic element with the rigor of a scientist and the poetry of an artist.
Projects include cultural and arts facilities, workspaces, residences, urban design, and custom furniture projects. The studio also designs and commissions site-specific artworks for clients around the world. The recent renovation of the Mingei International Museum was featured in an article in the New York Times.
