Architect Jonathan Marvel Presents 'Getting to T2' Lecture April 17
A rendering of the new facility for TheatreSquared, the Fayetteville-based professional theater company, designed by Marvel Architects.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jonathan Marvel, FAIA, founding principal at Marvel Architects, will speak at 5 p.m. Monday, April 17, in the Ken and Linda Sue Shollmier Hall, Room 250 of Vol Walker Hall, on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, as part of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design lecture series.
Marvel's lecture, "Getting to T2: process, plans and practice," will give breadth and insight to Marvel Architects' approach to building a new facility for TheatreSquared, the Fayetteville-based professional theater company. In telling the story of TheatreSquared (nicknamed T2), he will recount other relevant projects that informed the T2 approach — shedding light on Marvel Architects' holistic design and building practice.
As he describes an interdisciplinary web, the audience will gain unique perspective into how Marvel Architects functions as a studio and its core beliefs as a practice. The firm uses iterative modeling and design to strategically and contextually solve the greatest socio-economic and environmental issues facing humanity today.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Marvel is an architect with more than 30 years of experience providing architectural, planning, community economic development and sustainable development services for public spaces, educational institutions, single and multi-family housing, libraries, museums and large-scale mixed-use developments.
Marvel also teaches, writes, lectures and leads discussions on urban design and architecture in both academic and civic contexts. He is the recipient of numerous awards, and he has a position on several boards of local and national organizations committed to equitable and sustainable planning and development efforts.

This is the Mort Karp Memorial Lecture, sponsored by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects.
