Leo, originally from Mexico City, attended the Architecture School at the Savannah College of Art and Design, has a Masters in Architecture and is currently a senior designer at HKS. After the panel, Leo led an Architecture activity with the students, approximately 80 middle school kids that benefited from a friendly competition using Keva planks, to build the tallest and most creative structure possible, while learning the importance of working as a team. Participating schools included Lang, Hill and Long Middle Schools.
“… in an ever connected world and with new technologies, the lines between visual artists, sculptors, photographers and architects are blurred and the opportunities for collaboration, learning experiences and growth seem limitless”
- Leo Gonzalez
LiA’s first happy hour of the year was a huge success! It showed the true diversity and open-source nature of the committee, with the presence not only of Architects, but also representatives from consultant disciplines, such as Interior Design, Structural, Civil, MEP and Landscape firms amongst others. With over 60 attendees, this event hosted by HDR Architecture was very well received. We cannot thank enough all the people that made this possible.
A raffle was held as part of the evening to collect funds for the Dallas Center for Architecture Minority Scholarship. LiA was able to get a good head start with $210! Don’t forget, we will be having an auction to be able to fund the scholarship on September 14th, as part of the reception for our annual traveling exhibit ENLACES, at the Dallas Center for Architecture.
