Architecture and The Spirit of Place

On Thursday, October 9, the KSC Architecture Program is sponsoring a presentation by Daniel V. Scully, “Recent Architecture, Paddling to the Sea.” The presentation will be in the Mountain View Room of the Student Center, and will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Scully’s talk will trace the impact of recent projects. Architectural historian and critic William Morgan recently wrote about the visitor center Scully designed in Bellows Falls, Vermont:

“Bellows Falls has created a bold new piece of architecture that captures and enhances the spirit of the place. … Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum has lured flocks of tourists to Bilbao, Spain, while Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art has given North Adams a real boost. The Bellows Falls Waypoint Interpretive Center is far more modest, but its impact may be similarly dramatic.”
