Lawrence Scarpa delivered the NAC Lecture at the University of Washington, Department of Architecture 2009 Winter Lecture Series, Friday, April 3, 2009, 6:30 PM, Architecture Hall 147; his statement advertising the event read as follows: "There is poetry in prosaic daily elements. We feel it is the architect's duty and challenge to seek out these commonplace, even throw-away materials, and put them to extraordinary uses. The recognition of an ordinary material used in an extraordinary way brings unexpected delight to the experience of architecture."
