ArcHop
Up to Arts, Film, and Cultural Events
Posted by
On Thursday, April 3rd, the public is invited to the next 'ArcHop' exhibition. The focus is award winning design. These projects set the bar for what is considered good design by architects and their peers. The exhibition aims to show the public what constitutes an award winning building and why design awards are given.
ArcHop will also host a panel discussion with "Legendary Fresno Architects." The panel is made up of senior architects that have practiced in the Central Valley for decades. Their influence can be seen from downtown to Fresno State University. We can garner so much knowledge from their perspective and experience.
ArcHop runs concurrent with Art Hop at a popular Art Hop destination. This quarterly program aims at bringing design professionals, architects, urban planners, artists and the public together in dialogue on Fresno's built environment. Our culture, our city, and our architecture stand to benefit from an open discussion on these topics.
Sponsors include The American Institute of Architects - San Joaquin Chapter, Darden Architects, and Taylor Teter Partnership.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) was created in 1857. Through education, government advocacy, community redevelopment, and public outreach activities, the AIA works toward a public environment that is responsive to the people it serves while representing the professional interests of America's architects. In close concert with other members of the design and construction team, the AIA also works to fulfill its commitment to help coordinate the building industry. As members of the AIA, more than 80,000 licensed architects and associated professionals express their commitment to quality design and livability in our built environments.

Head at College of the Sequoias; and Ken Zamora, Architecture Dept. Head at Fresno City College.
This quarterly program aims at bringing design professionals, architects, urban planners, artists and the public together in dialogue on Fresno's built environment. Our culture, our city, and our architecture stand to benefit from an open discussion on these topics.
This American Institute of Architects - San Joaquin event is sponsored by Darden Architects, and Taylor Teter Partnership. Students sponsored by: Armstrong Architects, Anthony C. Ping & Associates, Lew & Patnaude Inc, and T Architects
Now for a little justification why you should attend ArcHop the day before the 4th of July. Thomas Jefferson was one of our key founding fathers and co-authored the Declaration of Independence. This document was adopted on July 4th, 1776. The Declaration is considered to be the founding document of the United States of America, where July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day and the nation's birthday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence
Thomas Jefferson also founded the University of Virginia, and:
"In 1817, Thomas Jefferson proposed an idea that he had conceived as early as 1781 that the study of Architecture and the Fine Arts be included in the curriculum of the University of Virginia. Architecture as a course of study was to be placed in the School of Mathematics, and the Lawn, with its various orders of classical architecture, was to serve as an instructional model for the student body. It was not until 1919, however, that a School of Fine Arts was established...Architecture was separated from Art in 1954. Preservation studies were emphasized, and the Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture and Professorship were co-founded with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation to bring leading scholars and architects to the School.

So in conclusion, it is a disservice to Thomas Jefferson, Independence Day, the United States of America, and democracy as a whole if you do not attend ArcHop, this Thursday July 3rd.
In my opinion this is the best ArcHop exhibit yet, let's make it the best turnout as well.
