Distinguished architect visits UTSA Downtown to discuss balance of progress and preservation

UTSA's College of Architecture will welcome Romolo Martemucci, AIA, professor of architecture at Penn State and director of Penn State's Sede di Roma architecture campus in Italy, as part of its weekly Colloquium series.

Martemucci specializes in architecture in archeological situations. When a building project gets underway in Rome, Italy, there is a significant chance of the construction site becoming an archeological site. As construction and redevelopment continue in San Antonio, particularly in the downtown area and with the River North expansion, the city could encounter similar scenarios.

5 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 7th at Architecture Gallery, Monterey Building 1.108, UTSA Downtown Campus, 501 W. Durango Blvd.
