Discover the Creative World of Carl Abbott FAIA

Carl Abbott Lecture August 4, 2016The highly awarded Florida architect reveals connections in his work from studies with both ancient and modern masters. Abbott's fascination with ancient design began during his student days at Yale studying under Paul Rudolph. He's strongly informed by his experience of the sacred architecture of the Ancient Civilizations — the manner in which their buildings respond to the land and movement of the sun and stars. Abbott shows connections in his work along with images from his travels with National Geographic archeologists, revealing the exotic and sophisticated world of the Maya.

"Carl has a boundless enthusiasm to share his passion for architecture." — Lord Norman Foster

"Carl's talk was spellbinding…his images tied the bold simplicity of his architecture to the strong statements of the Maya."— Ken Miller, architect

A meet-and-greet reception and book sale and signing of Carl Abbott's "In/Formed by the Land" immediately follows tonight's lecture.
