Sticks & Stones: Frank Harmon Addresses
“Practice Green” Symposium in Virginia
September 28, 2006 (Raleigh, NC) -- Frank Harmon, FAIA, principal of Frank Harmon Architect in Raleigh, presented a seminar entitled “Sticks and Stones: Sustainable Architecture in the Mid-South,” during the Virginia Center for Architecture’
Harmon’s seminar examined certain elements and themes that run through regional architecture -- landscape; materials and construction (the “sticks and stones” of a place); weather and climate; roof forms that shelter or collect; and clients – and demonstrated how they can and should be used to create innovative, sustainable and appropriate contemporary buildings. Harmon used his and other firms' work to illustrate the principles, then led a Q&A session between the day's speakers and the audience.
Frank Harmon is also an associate professor or architecture at the N.C. State University College of Design and is a frequent speaker at architectural events and conferences, including American Institute of Architects’ National Convention, which was held in Los Angeles, CA, in June. He will address the Canadian Wood Council’s “Wood Design & Building Expo,” in Anaheim, CA, in November.
