Please join us for the 3rd lecture in the Utzon Lecture series for 2019!

Presented by Professor Walter Hood, University of California, Berkeley, and Creative Director and Founder of Hood Design Studio in Oakland, CA.

Hood Design Studio is Walter Hood’s tripartite practice, working across art and fabrication, design and landscape, and research and urbanism. He lectures on professional and theoretical projects nationally and internationally.

Walter designs and creates urban spaces and objects that are public sculpture. Believing everyone needs beauty in their life, he makes use of everyday objects to create new apertures through which to see the surrounding emergent beauty, strangeness, and idiosyncrasies of urban space. His ideas emerge from years of studying and practicing architecture, landscape architecture, and fine arts, and yet Walter tactfully eschews from differentiating between the three on any one project.

The studio’s award winning work has been featured in publications including Dwell, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fast Company, Architectural Digest, Places Journal, and Landscape Architecture Magazine. Walter Hood is also a recipient of the 2017 Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award.
