Despite efforts to the contrary, our lives are mostly spent in ordinary and boring spaces. Ben Loescher, Architect and Program Manager at The Center for Land Use Interpretation, will present recent projects studying these landscapes, and discuss the extraordinary potential of the common and pervasive, the practical vernacular, and the normative practices that inform the world that we occupy and experience.
