𝗔𝗜𝗔𝟮𝟰 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 MHTN’s Peggy McDonough-Jan, President, Project Architects Matt Drake and John Holbrook and Project Manager, Joel Burkhart, visited Washington D.C. to attend the 2024 The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Conference on Architecture & Design. One highlight was the tour of the National Museum of African American History & Culture. Guided by Smithsonian staff, the team learned about the museum's innovative design, sustainable practices, and its significant role in preserving African American heritage. This visit underscored the importance of architecture in reflecting and supporting cultural narratives. Keynote sessions featured inspiring speakers Arthur C. Brooks, discussing the science of happiness, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, emphasizing the role of design in promoting health and safety, and Ruth Carter, the Academy Award-winning costume designer, who spoke on the importance of storytelling and representation in design. The team also visited the new Australian Embassy, appreciating its architecture and artistic elements. This experience, among others, provided valuable insights that we will integrate into our practice, reinforcing our commitment to innovative, culturally aware, and sustainable design. #MHTNarchitects #VisionMadeReal #AIA24 #AIA #AmericanInstitureOfArchitects #WashingtonDC #AIANationalConference

Why lack of knowledge can be powerful? Let me explain… The unique Guggenheim Museum doesn't look like any building you've ever seen before. Why? That's because the architect Frank Lloyd Wright was self-taught He had to work out for himself how to design a building Wright found his own way.. Ignorance of the 'right' way to do something can be an asset if you do things the way they've been taught Your methods will be the same as everyone else's And you'll produce something obvious, predictable The regular buildings were designed by architects taught the regular way. If you make up your own method, it's likely to be a new method One that produces new results. Moral of the story: Lack of knowledge can provide fresh perspectives. #creativethinking #innovation #creativeminds

World Art Day serves as a poignant reminder of the connection between art and architecture. Beyond conventional boundaries, art permeates the very fabric of architectural expression. Visionary architects, akin to storytellers, wield space, light and shadow as their artistic tools, infusing the built environment with vitality and emotive resonance. This symbiotic relationship fuels innovation, pushing the frontiers of creativity and sparking boundless imagination. As we honor World Art Day, a contemplation on how artistic principles enrich and invigorate architectural practice emerges as indispensable for nurturing the architects of tomorrow. #worldartday

I find this half hour documentary fascinating because this is what we, as a society should aspire for- obviously each in their own context. In the US we have strong architectural traditions that have been under attack for the past 50 years, yet those are what give meaning to our cities. They make them sustainable and resilient. https://lnkd.in/eSjrR-yR

Ever consider what architecture and building design might look like when informed by planetary boundaries? A cool little exhibit put on by the Royal Danish Academy explores how the architecture and design of the future can co-exist with a balanced planet. The focal point of the 'Planetary Boundaries – Rethinking Architecture and Design' exhibition is to perceive the world from a fresh perspective, seeking an approach to architecture and design disciplines that revolves around planetary well-being and the state of the global environment. This exhibition, which is free of charge, allows users to experience 25 selected projects which – from an academic architectural or design perspective – ponder the potential for innovative design, building materials and types of dwellings with wide-ranging aesthetics – but a tiny planetary footprint. Each of the 25 projects exhibited considers one or more of the nine planetary boundary parameters. So, if you happen to be in Copenhagen sometime before April 5th, you might want to give it a look-see!
