“Past/Present”
In a lecture titled “Past/Present,” Brandon will share stories of Knoxville’s inner-city neighborhoods through a series of projects that illustrate how the social, economic, and cultural circumstances that shaped 20th century development in Knoxville inform the Firm’s design process. The talk will focus on recent public, private, and institutional projects and the historic development patterns that shaped each site.
Brandon Pace is a founding partner of Sanders Pace Architecture, started in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2002 with partner John Sanders. With work that is extensively researched and thoughtfully executed, Brandon has become a critical voice for a region and context often overlooked. In an era of increasing globalization, Brandon approaches architecture with a local mindset, identifying and expanding upon those cultural, physical, and social characteristics and circumstances that define a place and make it unique. By identifying opportunities within these constraints Brandon has established a foundation and framework for a design process that has led his projects to more than 100 local, regional, and national AIA design awards and publication in books and magazines throughout the world.
