Frank Lenk is an economist and Director of Research Services for the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC). MARC is working with local governments, transit providers, community partners and the public to develop a new long-range transportation plan for the Kansas City region, Transportation Outlook 2040.

By adapting to change and adopting policies that attract development to centers of activities and major corridors, the Kansas City region can change from one that is hollowing out in the middle to one where all parts share in the region’s prosperity — where all parts are healthy.

The University of Kansas invites you to join them for a lecture presented by CHRIS THEIS at 100 Stauffer-Flint.

A noted architect now based in Los Angeles will present the next lecture sponsored by the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design.

Kulapat Yantrasast of WHY Architecture will give A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste

at 5:00 p.m. Friday, February 26, in Foerster Auditorium (Room 63) of Seaton Hall on the K-State campus. The event is open to the public without charge.

The lecture will be a discussion and exploration of WHY Architecture’s approach and strategies employed in their projects and built works that attempt to address the multiple issues on contemporary architecture’s agenda—moving beyond the visual, sustainability, what and how and why exactly shall we build. The firm believes that new ideas begin by first asking why.
