He will show images and discuss how his architecture is also strongly In/formed by his experiences of the sacred Architecture of the ancient Egyptians and Maya – the manner in which their designs respond to the land and to the movement of the sun.

With a Master’s in Architecture from Yale , Carl is an original member of the recognized Sarasota School of Architecture.
