We invite you to join AIA Rochester as part of an evening with the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester and Architecture Foundation to explore how art and architecture shape the urban experience.

We will view an excerpt from the 2024 documentary "Sitting Still", which profiles renowned landscape architect and urban designer Laurie Olin.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion regarding how art and architecture inform the urban experience in our own city.
