Appropriate to Place, Lessons from Rome, Applied
In this lecture, Joyce Owens FAIA RIBA, founding principal of Architecture Joyce Owens and Studio AJO and incoming 2028 AIA President, reflects on how a classical education in Rome provided the foundation for a career focused on modern architecture in London and Florida. Owens examines what history really teaches an architect, exploring how studying the past liberates rather than limits contemporary practice. The session addresses what it means to design responsibly, resiliently, and regionally, no matter where an architectural practice takes root.
