SUMMARY:Urban Plants and Resilient Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Urban Plants and Resilient Gardens\, a lecture and workshop by Falon Mihalic\, PLA. Houston has a biologically diverse set of native plant life (5\,000 species in Texas) and is within the growing range of many worldwide subtropical plants. Recent weather impacts have shifted the palette of landscape plants to those that withstand flood\, drought\, freeze\, and extreme heat. Learn about the newly developed plant palettes and planting strategies for our changing climate. \nThe program is in conjunction with our current exhibition\, Verdant Laboratory\, on view through August 22 at the Center.  This event has the option of bringing your own lunch or order lunch in advance at registration. \nThis course has been approved for 1.0 AIA LU and 1.0 LA CES HSW. \nExhibition and programming sponsors:\nVerdant Laboratory is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance; REES; and Houston Architecture Foundation. \nProgramming Partners\nASLA Texas\, H/GC Section; Texas Parks & Wildlife \nImage credit: XO house by LOJO Architects\, Leonid Furmansky \nThis event is approved for\n1.5 AIA LU\n1.5 LA CES HSW \n\nAbout \nFalon Mihalic is a sculptor and landscape architect who began making art with watercolor paintings in 2007.

SUMMARY:Designed with Taste: Credence
DESCRIPTION:Credence and Sidebar\, Houston chef Levi Goode’s two new South Texas ranch-inspired ventures under his own name\, are devoted to regional American fare. Goode is the leader of the iconic Houston-based restaurant group Goode Co. \nLocated at The McKinley at Memorial City\, the side-by-side restaurant and speakeasy bar offer diners Texas cuisine cooked over a live fire. The Goode Co teamed up with architecture and design firm Gensler to create spaces inspired by Goode’s storytelling and travels. Credence and Sidebar feature classical European architecture with double barrel vaulted ceilings\, locally crafted tabletops\, wood floors\, brass inlays\, penny tile\, antique rugs\, and a massive shared outdoor patio. Houston-based Weingarten Art Group curated works by Parisian photographer Kourtney Roy and local design firm Principle commissioned large murals depicting Texas desert landscapes by Texas artist Johnathon Schubert. \nJoin us for a tour of Credence and Sidecar\, and a sampling of fare with Douglas Detiveaux and Inga Zunte\, Gensler; Dustin Hubbard\, Texana Builders; Eric Ortiez\, Bomanite Houston; and Goode Co. \nDesigned with Taste\, an event series from Architecture Center Houston explores Houston’s newest restaurants to examine how design affects the dining experience. Hear about the design inspiration for the spaces\, and how it interacts with the culinary offerings. Is the food influenced by the design\, or is it the other way around? Enjoy lite bites and cocktails and decide for yourself. \nDesigned with Taste: Credence is generously sponsored by Texana Builders and Bomanite Houston. \nEVENT SPONSORS\n
