Buffalo: A Renaissance by Design

Join us for a panel discussion, hosted by the Cornell Club of Greater Buffalo.

Aspirational architecture and design have been at the core of Buffalo’s civic identity for nearly 200 years.  This generation of architects contributes to that rich and proud legacy while looking to the future. How can design professions enrich the city’s recent revival?

The panel discussion features four local design professionals

Omar Khan (AAP ’93), Associate Professor of Architecture, University at Buffalo
Joy Kuebler (CALS ’97), Landscape Architect, Principal of JKLA Studio
Scott Pitek (AAP ’02), Architect, Principal of Social Practice Design Collaborative
Seth Amman (SUNYAB ’06) Architect, Principal of Arch & Type

Moderated by Greg Proefrock (AAP ’95) of Glance Design

The event will be held on Thursday, November 7th, 2019 at Cornell in Buffalo Commons, Third Floor, 617 Main Street, Buffalo NY. 5:30pm refreshments, 6:30pm program.

This event is free and open to the public, but please register in advance.
