The Center for Architecture Sarasota held a gala this evening to celebrate the opening of the McCulloch Pavilion on South Orange Avenue in Sarasota. The 1960 building was designed by Joe Farrell and renovated for use as headquarters for CFAS, the University of Florida's CityLab Sarasota and the local AIA chapter's office.
CFAS board member Michelle Young took these photos of the VIP reception, in which guests chatted with Farrell, in the light gray suit, and viewed a photographic exhibit of buildings he has designed throughout his long career.
The exhibit and building will host a free open house for the public from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. At 5, Farrell will present a lecture about architecture and his career, followed by a Q&A with me.
