Several months ago, a group of like-minded individuals put their minds together with the goal of creating a platform to tell the stories – one by one - that help make up the proud and unique architectural legacy of Kansas City. Under the umbrella of the Kansas City Architectural Foundation’s outreach committee, the group confirmed its goals as 1) educating both the architectural community and the public about built environment issues relevant to the Kansas City community and 2) raising money for the KCAF scholarship fund benefiting area students studying architecture with both financial need and academic merit.
Part story corps, part academic lecture, part discussion with friends over drinks, twice a year or so, we hope to help shed new light on the projects and the people that have literally helped build the city we call home. We want to invite you to learn about the past, broaden your perspective of the present while also looking in to the future of architecture, planning, design and living in Kansas City.
We are confident our first event will do just that. Please join the discussion about the Kansas City International Airport’s past, present and future on June 28th at the Plaza Branch Auditorium of the Kansas City Public Library. There will be a reception preceding the event at 6:00 with the round table discussion beginning at 6:30. You may RSVP for the event now at:
Please continue to check this blog for updates regarding our fantastic round table participants, event sponsors, and some great imagery to wet your appetite for our first discussion.
