Sierra Speaker Series
Sierra Speaker Series: The Art & Science of Northern California Architecture with Todd Mather
The Sierra State Parks Foundation is very pleased to offer a presentation by Todd Mather, TGM Architect.
To survive, Man needs food, water and shelter. From this root, delicious food and artisan waters have sustained the artistic side of sustenance. Architecture with its origins in a cold, damp cave has also developed into nearly unimaginative structures. Beginning with a quick overview of how architecture has morphed since the Dawn of Man, Mather will then focus on current regional thought.
Dwelling in sometimes fierce climates as found in Northern California requires a well-thought approach to architecture. Regional, national and international architects are creating buildings that respond artistically and scientifically to those Sierra Nevadans that inhabit them. Mather will discuss the successes and failures of regional architecture and the theories behind them, as well as his virtual reality studio to full-immerse his clients in the design process.
Doors open at 5 pm | Program begins at 5:30pm
