Sarah Susanka | Build Better, Not Bigger, Design Matters
For 25 years, architect and author Sarah Susanka, FAIA has been leading a movement that is redefining the American home and lifestyle. Through her “build better, not bigger” approach to residential design, she reveals that the sense of “home” we seek is a quality that has almost nothing to do with square footage. Her “Not So Big” message has become a launch pad for a new dimension of understanding how we inhabit our homes, our planet, and even our day-to-day lives.
Susanka is the best-selling author of nine books including The Not So Big House, Home By Design, and The Not So Big Life, which collectively have sold well over a million copies. Her books provide the language and tools for homeowners to communicate with architects and other building professionals to bring their own dreams of home to life.
As a cultural visionary, Susanka has been regularly tapped for her expertise by national media, including “The Today Show,” CNN and The New York Times. Builder Magazine recognized Susanka as one of 30 most notable innovators in the housing industry over the past 30 years, Fast Company named Susanka to their debut list of “Fast 50” innovators whose achievements have helped to change society, and U.S. News and World Report dubbed her an “innovator in American culture.” She is also a recipient of the Anne Morrow Lindbergh Award for outstanding individual achievement toward making positive contributions to our world.

Steve Mouzon | Rediscovering The Original Green!
What fails is discarded, and what is loved is cherished, by future generations. Join us as we learn the the importance of resilience in design, taught to us by the beloved successful historic fabric around us!
Steve Mouzon is a principal of the New Urban Guild in Miami. The Guild was instrumental in the creation of the Katrina Cottages concept, and continues to foster the movement, including sponsoring the website (www.katrinacottages.com.) Steve’s Katrina Cottage VIII was awarded a Charter Award by the Congress for the New Urbanism. The Guild Foundation is the non-profit educational arm of the Guild; it sponsors a number of workshops, tours, and seminars that fill several of the gaps that previously existed between theory and practice. It also sponsors the Guild Tool Foundry.
Steve is also a principal of Mouzon Design, which produces a number of town-building tools and services. His house plans have been featured repeatedly as Home of the Month in Southern Living, Coastal Living, and Cottage Living. Steve is Town Architect at several new hamlets, villages and neighborhoods around the country, using a unique method that communicates principles, not just particulars. Mouzon Design’s Premium Tools Collection contains robust new place-making tools. A Living Tradition is a framework for a new type of pattern book that is principle-based instead of taste-based, and therefore contributes to the creation of new living traditions.
Steve has authored or contributed to a number of publications in recent years, including Biltmore Estate Homes (Southern Living), Architectural Elements: Traditional Construction Details (McGraw-Hill), 1001 Traditional Construction Details (McGraw-Hill), Traditional Construction Patterns (McGraw-Hill), Gulf Coast Emergency House Plans, A Living Tradition [Architecture of the Central Gulf Coast], and the award-winning A Living Tradition [Architecture of the Bahamas]. Steve is also continuing to shoot new editions of his Catalog of the Most-Loved Places. The Catalog typically includes every structure built before about 1925 in various historic towns or districts. He lectures frequently across the country and abroad.

Patrick Ahearn FAIA | Our Responsibility to Respect and Relate
Join Architectural Delight as we spend time with lauded architect Patrick Ahearn to discuss the importance of connecting our designs to the context and culture around us. When we do that, we connect our work to something larger than ourselves. It is not about style, it's about the sense of place we will leave to those who come after us.
One of America’s most celebrated classical architects and a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, Patrick Ahearn has focused on historically motivated, site-sensitive residences in New England and beyond for more than 40 years. On the Vineyard alone he has completed more than 350 residences, prompting Architectural Digest to proclaim “this architecture is the reason why people covet Martha’s Vineyard real estate.”
Patrick has been awarded degrees in architecture and urban design from Syracuse University and has taught coursework at both Syracuse and the Boston Architectural College. Today, he oversees the architectural firm that bears his name in both Boston and Edgartown while also deftly drafting firsthand. A recipient of countless awards, Patrick and his work have been featured in numerous publications and broadcast outlets including Architectural Digest, the Wall Street Journal, HGTV and more. His acclaimed monograph, Timeless, was published in 2018 and is in its 6th reprint.
