March
Fettuccine Forum Asks: 'Can Good Architecture Be Legislated?'
Architect
Andy Erstad examines “Our Changing Skyline” at the March 1 Fettuccine
Forum, co-sponsored by Boise State University. The free lecture series is
in the Rose Room in the historic Union Block, 718 W. Idaho Street. Doors
open at 5 p.m. and the presentation begins at 5:30 p.m. Free appetizers
will be served and fettuccine will be available for $5.
Erstad will present a slide show of buildings throughout Boise history,
both pre- and post-design review era, to address the question of whether
or not good architecture can be legislated.
A member of the Boise City Planning and Zoning design review committee,
Erstad practiced architecture in Tucson, Philadelphia and San Francisco
before returning to Idaho as a partner with Hummel Architects. He is a
member of the Idaho State Capitol Commission and is affiliated with
numerous local business, civic, art and cultural committees.
Architectural historian Tricia Canaday will teach a companion workshop
titled “Boise’s Historic Architecture.” Students may receive
graduate or undergraduate credit by registering for the workshop online
through BroncoWeb.
The forum is co-sponsored by Boise State University’s Center for Idaho
History and Politics and the Boise City Office of the Mayor. The
Fettuccine Forum is an educational forum about the history and cultural
life of Boise and the Treasure Valley. Lively and informal, the monthly
event invites the public to interact with politicians, artists,
historians, activists, advocates and professionals who treasure life in
our booming valley and strive to make it a better place.
