[1]Carl Abbott Speaks To Informed By The Land.
Thursday, May 16 at 7 pm Ringling College of Art and Design will host Architect Carl Abbott for a conversation on the tenets of modern and ancient design’s which are informed by the land.
Kevin Dean, Curator of Ringling’s Selby Gallery, asked Carl Abbott to give this talk following their successful show of Abbott’s Architecture last year. He will discuss how modern architecture can be informed by ancient designers who worked with the land to plan their built environments. As in Greece, Egypt, Maya — designs that align with specific land forms and celestial events.
Maya – This summer, Abbott will be working in the Yucatan with archeologists studying how the Maya planned and built their environments.
Following the talk, the Architect will be available to sign his new book, IN/FORMED by the LAND: The Architecture of Carl Abbott. (available locally and on the web) [2]
