College of Architecture and Planning Dean's Featured Voices Lecture Series with Michael Winters, FAIA
Wednesday, March 12 | 12:00 p.m. | CU Denver Building, Second Floor Gallery, Denver
Michael Winters, FAIA will present projects from his architectural career. Michael was partner and director of Design & Interiors at Fentress Architects for over 40 years. Michael will present school projects from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Colorado Denver, and work projects while at Skidmore Owings & Merrill, Fentress Architects and now his firm MOWarchitects.
As an architect, Michael searched for inspiration to create his designs. Michael used the natural environment, history, and culture of place to define a creative design “Story” to guide and give reason for his architectural design solutions. The lecture will focus on projects that illustrate his design process of research, discovery, and developing the Story, resulting in the creation of architectural design.
