This is the second ARCHITECTS' & DESIGNERS' OWN HOMES TOUR (hence, we reference it as "HT2") produced by this small-but-mighty arts and humanities nonprofit organization. The first one was in 2002 and too bad if you missed it! The featured homes were stellar and the experience was truly great for all involved. As unique as this particular event is, how could Gnosis resist the opportunity to coordinate another one? It's the only Valley-wide Tour that allows one to see how designers live when they build for themselves ... Ultimately, many of those ideas fermented in their own laboratories are revisited in the spaces they design for others.
The 2007 Tour is again a two-day celebration of custom designed architects' and designers' personal residences. The Symposium on Friday evening, hosted by ASU's Mark Ryan and Michael Underhill (both practitioners as well as teachers), will address what will be seen over the weekend, what's interesting about these spaces. The self-drive Tour offers (5) houses for viewing on Saturday and (5) other houses on Sunday; doors are open from 10:00am - 5:00pm.
Here's a buzz I'd like you to help me propagate:
The monies we raise are to be allocated to our next project. Our goal is to reprint the coveted catalogue that has been long out of print: CONSTRUCTIONS, Buildings in Arizona by Alfred Newman Beadle V and after the HT2 commotion dies down, I'm jumping all over this ...
... and, okay, okay, Eddie, I will look into coordinating a trip to Cuba ... who wants to go?! Meanwhile, requests for a Marfa rendez-vous have come in. And, I've promised a Taliesin Apprentices trip to Mexico City.
Needless to say, I've mulling over our next doc, too.
