    Lecture: Beauty in Architecture, for Truth’s Sake

    Hosted by the Utah Chapter in conjunction with Utah Valley University and AIA Central Utah | 1 AIA CES Learning Unit available

    Vitruvius wrote in his Ten Books on Architecture that an architect should focus on three central themes when preparing a design for a building: firmitas (strength), utilitas (functionality), and venustas (beauty). Strength and functionality we understand by learning about them empirically since our earliest memories of childhood–sometimes the hard way. But venustas (beauty) is the more complex theme. Is it found only in the eye of the beholder?

    John Haigh, AIA is in his fourth year as an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Benedictine College in northeastern Kansas, where he moved to establish a new classical, pre-professional, liberal arts degree in architecture. John received his M.Arch. from the University of Notre Dame in 2004 and is licensed architect who currently resides in Atchison, KS.

    This event is hosted by an ICAA Chapter. Please check the Chapter website, or contact the Chapter directly, for the most up-to-date details including dates, times, and pricing.
