Designing for a Community

Presenter: Ross Primmer
DeLeon & Primmer Architecture Workshop

Saturday, March 3, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Price: $17.00 + admission to The Market

Join architect Ross Primmer of DeLeon & Primmer Architecture Workshop (the architects designing the LASC’s new renovation and expansion) as he discusses the design studio’s focus on cultural and civic environments and drawing inspiration from local traditions of craft. DeLeon & Primmer’s work with nonprofit organizations and grass-roots community efforts has shaped a practice grounded in consensus building and exploring architectural possibilities that enrich and nurture communities. The firm is currently working with Lexington’s Living Arts and Science Center and the Filson Historical Society in Louisville.

Proceeds from this workshop will be contributed to the Living Arts & Science Center’s Imagine This Capital Campaign.
