History of Arts and Architecture

Addison is a Brooklyn-based designer and builder, with a focus on compact living spaces. In his current role as Director of Construction for Getaway, a “tiny house hotel” company, Addison works with multiple parties to design and produce experiences of quiet retreat in the woods. Prior to working with Getaway, Addison created the uhü, or urban housing unit, a demonstration compact apartment space on wheels that traveled through the city of Boston as a “pop-up” exhibition.

Supreme, a New York City-based streetwear fashion brand founded in 1994, has cultivated a reputation over the years for making clothing, skateboards, and accessories that sell out in seconds. This lecture will analyze how the brand uses architectural, graphic, and sartorial design to create an urban cultural institution.

Marlon Blackwell, FAIA, is a practicing architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and serves as the E. Fay Jones Distinguished Professor at the Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design at the University of Arkansas. Working outside the architectural mainstream, his architecture is based in design strategies that draw upon vernaculars, typologies, and the contradictions of place: strategies that seek to transgress conventional boundaries for architecture.
