INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ARCHITECT TO SPEAK AT UNM

The University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning features internationally known architect Anthony Lumsden presenting, "Architectural Mutation: Serial Technology," Friday, Nov. 14, 4:30 p.m. in room 2018 in the Center for the Arts on UNM's main campus.

Lumsden's presentation explores the relationship between systems such as nature, the human body, and logic and how it affects architecture and the dynamic creative process.

"As the system evolves, it mutates and this happens in a series from old architecture and new architecture as well as in other creative activities," Lumsden said.

A graduate of the architecture program at the University of Sydney, Australia, Lumsden is currently president and design principal for A.J. Lumsden and Associates (AJLA), founded in 1993. Recent AJLA projects include the School of Social and Behavioral Science building at California State University in San Bernardino.

A mainstream modernist, Lumsden is the design architect for the Ontario International Airport in California. He was awarded the 2003 Gold Medal by the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

The lecture is free and open to the public.
