Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2018 is Stewardship.

At the March web meeting, the Church welcome John Ferguson, soil scientist & owner of Nature’s Way Resources, a Houston-based composting, mulch & recycling firm. John’s talk is an introduction to a new model of soil science and fertility management called the “Soil Food Web”. It explains how biological (organic) methods work and how they save you time and money in your gardening projects by preventing many problems. The biological methods are sustainable; greatly reduce water requirements, prevent problems, eliminate air and water pollution, sequester carbon, and lower total management costs from property management to erosion control. Learn from the man whose personal garden has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens and several gardening books. After John’s talk, there will be time for Q&A.

The Form of Mud Lecture by Roger Bolshauser

Roger Boltshauser, Principal at Boltshauser Architekten AG and Professor at EPFL Lausanne, joins Rice Architecture for a lecture on Mar. 26, 2018, at 5:30 p.m. in Farish Gallery.

Roger Boltshauser is the owner of the Boltshauser Architekten AG architecture office in Zurich. The office team consists of about 55 employees, who currently work on projects for German and foreign markets. The office covers all phases of competitions and study commissions, from project and execution planning up to and including cost management and construction management.

In recent years, the office has won several competitions of major projects, which are being planned and executed. For example, the oceanarium in Basel, the Baufeld F construction site in the Europaallee in Zurich, and the new research building GLC for ETH Zurich. Urban construction projects are also being developed, such as the Papieri site in Cham.

Portraying the practice of Spanish Architecture Abroad is a complex task. EXPORT is not a comprehensive catalog of architectural works, nor is it a list of designed buildings in faraway places, because this would not do justice to what it means to be an architect in a globalized society, a place of “arrivals and departures”.

EXPORT does not strive to provide an exhaustive look at all the parties involved, but a glimpse for visitors to construct relations, connect ideas, and gain insight into the field, in order to understand that architecture is more than erecting buildings, but the creation of products that construct our world.

EXPORT approaches the subject from an open, pluralistic and unprejudiced perspective. Organizing the contents in six possible ways to practice architecture today, and complemented by the intervention of external agents, the exhibition offers a richer and original view of Spanish Architecture abroad.

Architecture Center Houston and AIA Houston are sponsoring partners of this exhibit.
