PROGRAM:
Kentucky International Convention Center Architectural Tour
MEETING LOCATION: Corner of 4th & Market St, inside
PARKING: Garages and street parking available.
COST: Free to AIA & CSI members. $25 for non members.
Richard Polk and Andrew Moore with EOP Architects joins CSI Louisville on November 8th to provide a walking architectural behind-the-scenes tour of the the Kentucky International Convention Center that just reopened in downtown Louisville on August 6th, after undergoing a $207 million, two-year, renovation and expansion.
The new rendition of KICC houses nearly 1 million square feet of space across three main floors and has booked 120 groups to date, including 84 conventions with an estimated economic impact of $246 million, according to Louisville Tourism officials. During its two-year closure, the west end of the building was demolished and rebuilt with large windows and skylights, providing a focus on glass, open space, modern technology and natural light.
Inside, the new KICC has a little more than 200,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit hall space, a 40,000-square-foot main ballroom, 52 meeting rooms, a 175-seat tiered conference theater and a new kitchen that can accommodate as many as 15,000 meals per day.

UK College of Design Lecture at 21c
Recent Work, or WORKac gets serious | A Talk by Dan Wood
|
When: Friday, Nov. 9 from 7-9 p.m.
Where: 21c Museum Hotel, Louisville.
What is architecture in the age of the anthropocene, uncertainty and polarization? What agency do we have to address big issues through design? As WORKac enters the fourth of its five-year plans, Dan Wood will discuss the merits of pop, whimsey and optimism as the firm gets serious in in the scale and ambition of its work. Wood, co-founder and principal of WORKac in New York, is the recipient of this year's UK College of Design Brown-Forman Visiting Chair Endowment. He will be working with Studio Louisville students on the continuation of the Portland neighborhood project in West Louisville. Wood was the 2013-14 Louis I. Kahn Chair at the Yale School of Architecture, and is currently an adjunct associate professor at Columbia GSAPP.
