John Gaw Meem Lecture features Peter Di Sabatino

Peter Di Sabatino, AIA, presents, “CAIN_CORBS_KABOBS: Trajectories and Digressions in Architecture and Design,” an illustrated lecture, on Friday, Oct. 20 at 4:30 p.m. in Northrop Hall rm. 122 on the University of New Mexico campus. The lecture is the third installment in the fall John Gaw Meem Lecture Series presented by the UNM School of Architecture and Planning. All lectures are free and open to the public.

Di Sabatino currently consults, teaches and practices in design and education. His presentation will expose important influences, design principles and processes that have helped form theoretical and built projects, and educational initiatives and practices.

Drawing from a diverse body of work in teaching and practicing architecture and design for more than 20 years, Peter Di Sabatino will explore the weave of multidisciplinary practice and transdisciplinary education with design, integration, innovation and a humanistic entrepreneurial spirit at the core.

After establishing principles, foundations and trajectories with earlier work and teachings, additional attention will be paid to some recent projects while directing design at WET Design and from selected studios at Art Center College of Design.

Prior to Art Center, Di Sabatino was professor of architecture and founding director of Woodbury University’s Community Design and Urban Research Center in Hollywood. Di Sabatino is a licensed architect who has practiced in a variety of firms, including partnership at Di Sabatino / Lem Architects. He received his master’s of architecture from Washington University in Saint Louis, Mo.
