SUMMARY:Architectural Photography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join architecture photographers Mariella and Luis Ayala\, AIA for this weekend workshop exploring the art and craft of capturing the built environment.  Mariella and Luis are sought out by architects across the state for their gift at showing a building in its best possible light. Their work is praised for bringing projects to life in a brilliant way\, and for capturing the emotional qualities — the story\, spirit\, and soul — of the spaces they help to document. Their work has been published in numerous magazines and books and recently bestowed with the Texas Society of Architects Honors Award for photography. Visit their website at ayalavargas.com \nThey are offering a weekend photographic workshop starting Friday\, November 14 extending through Sunday\, November 16. The workshop will be a hands-on experience of photographing buildings and processing images digitally. This will be achieved with the use of “consumer” cameras and computers commonly owned by the non-professional photographer. A basic understanding of how to manually operate a camera is expected. Mariella and Luis will work one-on-one with participants photographing buildings and processing these images later. \n  \n\n\nItinerary\n\n\n\n\nThis itinerary is subject to change due to weather\, local conditions\, and other factors. \n\n\nFriday\, November 14: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM (ArCH Center) \nSaturday\, November 15: 8:00 AM – 6:30 PM \n\nLocation includes residential restoration project Old Sixth Ward & MFAH (Interior & Exterior at dusk)\n\nSunday\, November 16: 8:00 AM – noon (ArCH Center) \n  \nAIA Credit: 12 AIA LU \n  \n\nGet individualized attention in this small group format; workshop is limited to 14 participants.\nLearn post-processing techniques for architecture\nGear needed: SLR Camera\, interchangeable lens and tripod\nIncluded: entry fee to MFAH\, Saturday lunch and Sunday pastries/fruit/coffee\nAdvanced registration required.  Onsite registration is not available.\nCancellation Policy: A minimum of 7 days’ (Nov. 7) notice is required to receive a full refund\n\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Sketch the Change at POST HTX
DESCRIPTION:Join Kids+Architecture for a fun filled sketching workshop at the POST HTX \, one of Houston’s award-winning entertainment center. \nPost HTX is an adaptive reuse project that transformed the historic Barbara Jordan United States Post (USPS) Office in downtown Houston into a cultural and commercial complex. The solid fortress-like structure of the USPS office\, originally designed by Wilson\, Morris\, Crain & Anderson\, the architects of Astrodome\, had immense potential\, but its industrial character posed challenges for repurposing. OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) and Powers Brown Architecture designed the redevelopment with sensitive modifications. The new design introduced atriums with three unique monumental staircases\, massive skylights which uses materials that once originated in a NASA lab\, and the largest rooftop park in the United States. POST HTX also includes a food hall\, restaurants\, coworking spaces and offices. \nThe workshop will begin with an architect-led tour by Jeanette Shaw\, AIA\, Powers Brown Architect\, before breaking up into small groups with architects to hone your sketching skills using watercolor pencils. \nAdditional information about the class: \n\nThis is an indoor and outdoor workshop\, please dress appropriately for the weather.\nStudents will work in small groups with architects to learn and develop their sketching techniques.\nA sketch book\, watercolor pencils\, bottle of water and a snack will be provided for registered students. Adults are welcome to participate and parents are welcome to stay to pick up when the workshop concludes.\nGeared towards ages 7-12.\nParking options at POST are $5 per hour after the first 20 minutes\, which are free.\n\nPlease plan to arrive early to allow time to park and check in. Class will conclude at noon.. \nSketch the Change at POST HTX is sponsored by \n \n  \nPost HTX Design Team\nClient: Lovett Commercial\nLead Designer: OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture)\nExecutive Architect: Power Brown Architect\nStructural Engineer: IMEG Corp\nContractor: Harvey Builders\nExecutive Architect – Food Hall: LUCID\nMEP: DBR Engineering Consultants\nLandscape Architect: Hoerr Schaudt\nLighting: DotDash\nHistoric Advisor: MacRostie\nIdentity and Signage: MTWTF with Formation\nArchitecture Renderings: Luxigon \n
