Building Memories for Generations
Finding Memories in our architectural heritage
As part of the AIA 150 Celebration, the AIA Tampa Bay Architectural Heritage Committee, The Byrd Alzheimer’s Research Institute, and ReclaimingOurHeritage.org will present a panel discussion and conversation entitled, Building Memories for Generations: Finding Memories in our Architectural Heritage.
The evening will bring together architects, oral history experts, anthropologists, and memory researchers. Their dialogue will explore how to approach a community’s architectural landscape as a starting-point for family conversations. Recent research has looked at the potential of sparking memories in Alzheimer’s patients through scrapbooks and photo albums. But few have approached a community’s architectural “scrapbook” as a springboard for producing and preserving family oral histories.
Add your voice to this new conversation on Monday, April 9th at the The Tampa Historical Society Headquarters at 245 South Hyde Park Avenue from 7:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. $10 per-person. RSVP by calling 813-229-3411.

AIA 150 Architecture + Film
Scraphouse movie and lecture
As a part of the AIA 150 Celebration, the AIA TB Associate committee presents a special Architecture + Film event featuring the documentary Scraphouse and a lecture by one of the key players in the project, John Peterson.
The Scraphouse project, constructed in conjunction with World Environment Day 2005, was a temporary demonstration home, built entirely of salvaged material. It was completed in just six weeks. The film Scraphouse, a 46-minute fast-paced documentary by Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker, Anna Fitch, follows a team of San Francisco architects, artists, contractors, city officials, and engineers as they construct a house.
John Peterson, Principal of Peterson Architects, is the founder and Chair of Public Architecture, a San Francisco based non-profit architecture model that led the design and construction of the Scraphouse project. Peterson will discuss his leadership role in the project and how Scraphouse is both an exercise and illustration of the possibilities and challenges of green building, recycling and reuse.
There will be a pre-screening reception at 6:00 p.m. with free appetizers, soft drinks and cash bar. Cost is $10 members / $15 non-members.
RSVP required online or by calling 813-229-3411.
