Lectures
LECTURE / Scott SPECHT
Scott SPECHT is the founder and principal of Specht Architects, an architecture, design, property development, and research firm. His award-winning work features residential, commercial, and universitybased projects, including the Carpenter, an environmentally sustainable adaptive re-use of a former union hall; the Preston Hollow Residence, a 2020 Record Houses award winner; and the Sangre de Cristo House, which recently received the Harnar Award for Contemporary Architecture. Specht’s body of work over the last twenty-five years has received multiple awards from the AIA, TxA, the Architectural League and many other professional groups. The studio’s designs were featured at the Museum of Modern Art, with press features in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Architectural Record, Architecture, Architectural Digest, Praxis, Interior Design, Residential Architect, Metropolis, and Texas Architect. Prior to founding Specht Architects, Scott was part of Studio Daniel Libeskind, Deborah Berke Architect, and Kohn Pedersen Fox. Scott teaches and has been a featured speaker for leading conferences and academic forums. Scott’s book, Coffee Lids, has received acclaim for its take on the design of “unseen objects” that populate our lives. His newest project, the Stealth House, is a prototype for a completely new idea of single-family living in the U.S. Spechtarchitects
LECTURE / Barbara BESTOR
Barbara BESTOR, FAIA, Founding Principal of Bestor Architecture, has actively redefined Los Angeles architecture with a practice that rigorously engages the city through design, art, and urbanism. Increasingly, the studio applies L.A.’s lessons to national undertakings. She explores the architectural form through experiments in spatial arrangements, graphics, and colorevident in her projects from custom residences to headquarters for international companies. Her varied and progressive body of work, which focuses on both architecture and interior design, connects with people on many levels, often outside the traditional boundaries of architecture. She believes that good design creates an engaged urban life and embraces the ‘strange beauty’ that enhances everyday experience. Barbara has designed new ways of creating accessible urbanism and “stealth density” in projects including Blackbirds, a groundbreaking typology for dense housing in Echo Park; retail and restaurant flagships; dynamic workspaces for Beats By Dre and Snap; the Silverlake Conservatory of Music; award-winning residences; restorations of iconic houses by Lautner, Neutra and Schindler; and pioneering arts projects that are deeply rooted in their communities and cultural context. Barbara received her undergraduate degree at Harvard, studied at the AA in London and received a MARCH at SCI-Arc. Barbara is the author of Bohemian Modern, Living in Silver Lake and has been published widely, including Dwell, LUXE, Architect, Architectural Record, Review and Digest, the New York Times, and Metropolis. She is the recipient of numerous regional and national design awards, lectures and serves on design juries, and has been honored with prestigious recognitions, including being named to the Architectural Digest AD 100.

His drawings and models are in the collections of several major museums, including MoMA and the Centre Pompidou, which presented a major retrospective of his work. The Venice Biennale and the NAI have also exhibited his designs. Tschumi was awarded France’s Grand Prix National d’Architecture as well as numerous awards from the AIA and the National Endowment for the Arts.

LECTURE / Shane COEN
Shane Coen, FASLA has led Coen+Partners, his innovative landscape architecture studio, for over 25 years.

It has also received awards from the AIA, the ASLA, the GSA Design Excellence program and recognition in The New York Times, Metropolis, Dwell, and Architectural Record.

LECTURE / Wendell BURNETTE The Frank Welch Memorial Lecture
Wendell Burnette, FAIA, is an award-winning architect whose projects reflect many of the same key values as the late Frank Welch: space and light, context and place, organic materials that are carefully crafted, and respect for the environment and landscapes in which we live. Burnette studied at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin West and is a Professor of Practice at The Design School at Arizona State University. Burnette has traveled widely in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas with a focus on the southwestern states to develop unique understandings of the importance of design in harmony to its site.

Projects include custom residences in Arizona and around the country, public commissions that include the Palo Verde Library/Maryvale Community Center, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, and the Scottsdale Teen Center, and resorts/spas worldwide including the much-acclaimed Amangiri Resort. Burnette also collaborated with Will Bruder on the Phoenix Central Library design.
