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, popcorn and cash bar. Cost is $10 members / $15 non-members.
RSVP required online or by calling 813-229-3411.
Donate Your Extra Supplies
help local teachers and students
Does your office have surplus supplies or outdated letterhead? Teaching Tools for Hillsborough Schools, a program of the Hillsborough Education Foundation, has the answer for you! Teaching Tools operates a store for teachers at high need Title-I schools where the teachers “shop” monthly for free supplies to bring back to their classrooms and at-risk students. During the spring time, the store receives fewer donations, but the teachers and students need for supplies remains ever present to get through the rest of the school year. How you can help? Teaching Tools distributes usable business surplus from the community back into the classroom. For example, companies that are cleaning out their supply closets, closing down an office or changing their information are all great candidates to donate their surplus back into local classrooms.
Examples of items donated are binders, desk ware, outdated stationery or letterhead, filing cabinets, staplers, promotional items, etc. To learn more click here or call please call Bronwyn Fowler at 813-620-2949 or e-mail bfowler@educationfoundation.com.
