Normally, Atelier Talks are held at the studios of architects and other design professionals. This month, CFAS focuses on the public’s awareness of architecture by putting the spotlight on Harold Bubil, the newspaper’s real estate editor and architecture writer/photographer.

Bubil, a University of Florida graduate, will talk about his career of covering architecture, real estate, green building and development history, his inspirations, the decision-making process and his 2015 Bob Graham Architectural Awareness Award from AIA-Florida.

He will lead a brief tour of the Herald-Tribune’s newsroom on the third floor of the award-winning Herald-Tribune building, which was designed by the Miami firm Arquitectonica and opened in 2006.

Admission is $10, with students admitted free. More information is online at cfasrq.org.

Center for Architecture’s exhibit on the landscape architecture of the late Dan Kiley continues through March 15 in the Don Chapell Gallery at the McCulloch Pavilion, 265 S. Orange Ave., Sarasota.

John Nolen lecture

R. Bruce Stephenson, Ph.D., will be the fourth and final presenter at 7 p.m. Feb. 23 in the New Urbanism speaker series offered by the Venice Museum & Archives. Stephenson is director of the Department of Environmental Studies and Sustainable Urbanism at Rollins College.

The event will be at the Venice Community Center. Stephenson’s topic is “John Nolen: Landscape Architect and City Planner.”

Stephenson’s books, editorials, and journal contributions examine the intersection of environmentalism, city planning, and authenticity as an overlooked factor in economic development. He is a Florida Humanities Council scholar and contributor to the PBS documen-tary, Imagining a New Florida. Stephenson will be discussing and signing copies of his new book, “John Nolen: Landscape Architect and City Planner.”
