Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28 for the final lecture of the season featuring Timothy Mansfield an architect recognized internationally for his leadership and design vision as President and CEO at CambridgeSeven, a 50-person Cambridge, Massachusetts-based architecture and exhibit design firm.

Designed by CambridgeSeven, the project offers a unique opportunity to unite bold architectural vision with regional identity and sustainable innovation.

Its pages are filled with architectural masterpieces, design inspiration, compelling works of art, profiles of talented designers and craftspeople, and the latest design trends and industry news.

What a week of Architalx! From lecture to tour to film to engaging dialogue — we are still processing the warmth and light of a week of memorable designs, visuals and conversations.

Here’s a quick visual recap of our evening and tour with Brigitte Shim where she guided us through the powerful projects have been working on over the last 2 decades and revisited a local masterpiece — both in process and in person.

Each of these projects are a reminder that light shapes a space and that nature and culture are always interwoven.

We’ll be posting more highlights from last week. What a remarkable season it has been, and we are looking forward to our finale next Tuesday with Timothy Mansfield at Aura. Limited tickets are still available on our website. Link in bio.
