Architect’s Forum
Architects Forum Venue has changed!!!
The location of the Architect's Forum to be held this Saturday, Sept. 12th has been changed. The new location is the Henry Clay at 604 South Third Street –two blocks up from the Urban Design Studio. UK has a large exhibit giving us room for only 15 seating and the rest standing up. We thank Bill Whalen for allowing the use of the Henry Clay in the 4th floor Billiards Room which can hold up to 50—which is a better size compared to past programs.
Dr. John Gilderbloom, a professor of Urban and Public Affairs with the University of Louisville will host this event. It is being held from 10 to Noon at the urban design studio downtown at 507 S. Third Street Louisville Ky. Refreshments will be provided. The Urban Design Studio is co-sponsored by UK School of Architecture and UofL Urban and Public Affairs.
CEU's will be available.
