“Architecture’s Trajectory”

1:15 – 2:30pm • Grays (1 CEU)

November 14, 2024

Keystone, CO

By “architecture’s trajectory,” we mean the evolving conversation of many architects across the planet that accumulates into what we might consider a collective direction.  It is clear that our expectations, and that of  many of our client’s, have expanded to include accessibility, equity, and sustainability.  At the same time, it is essential to this conversation to focus on  architecture’s primary responsibility, that is, to deliver architecture that provides an inspired experience.

Julie Snow, FAIA, NOMA, is the Founding Design Principal of Snow Kreilich Architects, a studio-based practice located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The studio’s interest in pragmatic and critical programmatic reflection results in innovative designs that expand our understanding of architectural performance. Design strategies engage issues of how architecture performs within each project’s social, cultural, and economic context. The practice has been recognized with numerous awards, including the AIA’s 2018 Architecture Firm Award, which recognizes a practice that consistently has produced distinguished architecture for at least 10 years.

Julie Snow has held several visiting professor positions and taught at the University of Minnesota College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, where she received the Ralph Rapson Award for Distinguished Teaching. In 2011, she was awarded the Architecture Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
