What does “style” mean for the future of architecture in Santa Fe?
Join us Saturday, October 24, at 2 p.m. for “Imagine There’s No Style,” a panel discussion presented with Friends of Architecture Santa Fe.

Inspired in part by the architecture of Judith Chafee, whose regional modernism offers a distinctive counterpoint within late 20th-century Southwestern architecture, the conversation builds on Friends of Architecture’s recent ReVision Series on the Santa Fe Style.

Emerging design professionals will explore the role of style, the diversity of contemporary regionalist practices, and new possibilities for Santa Fe’s built environment.

A Santa Fe architectural icon, reimagined through sculpture.

Roberto Cardinale shares his sculpture of the Scottish Rite Temple, built in 1912 and inspired by the Alhambra in Spain. The work extends beyond its architecture: Cardinale’s wife, collage artist PJ Cardinale, creates the interior drawers that bring narrative to the piece, while a Masonic symbol rendered in 22-karat gold leaf adds another layer of meaning.

Join us this Saturday, October 17, from 2–3 p.m. for an artist talk with Roberto Cardinale.

Join us Saturday, October 17, from 2–3 p.m. for an artist talk with Roberto Cardinale, artist and former Benedictine monk, as he shares the stories, travels, and life experiences behind his exhibition “Structures That Shape Us.”

Since 1985, Cardinale has created nearly 1,000 hand-built sculptures inspired by churches, missions, synagogues, and other buildings of faith. Working primarily in New Mexico white pine with richly painted surfaces, he transforms monumental sacred architecture into intimate objects for contemplation.

Hear Cardinale discuss the roots of his studio practice, his relationship to sacred architecture, and the places that continue to shape his work.

Discussion and questions are encouraged.
