Hosted by the ICAA Florida Chapter | 1 AIA CES Learning Unit|Elective
Join the ICAA FL Chapter for our Architecture & Design Lecture Series focusing on timeless collaborations between architectural, interior & landscape design professionals in pursuit of creating a classic. As we announce our Call for Entries for our 12th Addison Mizner Awards (AMA) this month, we are delighted to offer this unique opportunity to shed light on collaborations within our own ICAA FL Chapter membership, many of which are also past Addison Mizner Award Recipients. This lecture will feature a panel with Victoria Hagan, Daniel Kahan, Peter Papadopoulos, and Mario Nievera, moderated by Mitch Owens.
These dynamic conversations between our panelists, moderated by Mitch Owens, will foster a broader understanding and appreciation of the collaborative process in Architecture & Design, its enduring impact in our work & lives, in terms of improving the built environment, and our sense of community in the design profession.
Our three lecture panels of ICAA FL design talent, all of which have a history of design collaborations, will discuss their AMA projects and others, include storytelling, discuss process, and highlight beautiful work through engaging conversation with the moderator and each other. Slides to be used throughout.

He was raised in Augusta, Georgia and grew up studying the traditional architecture of the South. He was also exposed to and informed by the modernist residential architecture practiced by his uncle in Mexico City, where he apprenticed while studying architecture collegiately before his time at Smith and Moore Architects.
Kahan prides himself in the synthesis of classical order and form with modernist simplicity. He draws inspiration from a commitment to artistic integrity, a passion for detail, the use of fine materials, and exceptional workmanship. In 2011 he received the Elizabeth L. and John H. Schuler Award from the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach for Seascape, the oceanfront colonial residence project, and again in 2019 for Jungle Road, a modern-style gallery-white house.

Growing up in South Africa, he has long had a passion for the Dutch vernacular styles so prominent in the Cape Peninsula and Stellenbosch regions of the country. After completing his architectural studies, Peter spent time traveling abroad before settling in Palm Beach and beginning his architectural practice in 2000. Since that time he has applied his unique background and knowledge to numerous successful projects in both classical and modern styles. His work for the firm has earned numerous awards and has been published in noted books and periodicals.
