Lecture, University of Washington, Seattle (UW), Meany Hall, Seattle, WA, 07/21/1980. A story in the Seattle Times explained that Erickson was in Seattle in 07/1980 for a three-day architectural symposium held at the Battelle Institute and another location outside the UW. It reported: "Nationally known figures in architecture, anthropology, history and other areas will examine how cultural and social values relate to architectural design, at a three-day symposium being held here through Wednesday. The symposium is sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Festival in the Forest Association, with some funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Washington Commission for the Humanities. While most sessions are invitational, two are open to the public without charge, both at the Broadway Auditorium, at Broadway and Pike Street. They are: —7:30 p.m. Tuesday, ‘Meaning and Mythology in Architecture’ a presentation by Michael Graves, professor of architecture at Princeton University, of his work, followed by a panel discussion by symposium participants. Graves designed the proposed new Public Service Building in Portland. —10:30 a.m. Wednesday, ‘Theory and the Profession: The Design Process,’ a panel discussion of the relationship between architectural theory and architectural practice, and the problems of translating issues addressed in the gathering into buildings. Four additional sessions, for the visiting experts and other invitees, will be held tomorrow and Tuesday at the Battelle Institute. Among the visitors will be Arthur Erickson, celebrated Vancouver, B.C., architect (who will be lecturing also at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow in Meany Hall at the University of Washington); Alan Trachtenberg, Yale University professor of American studies and author; George Baird, professor of architecture at the University of Toronto and editor of Canada’s City Magazine; Kenneth Frampton, Columbia University architectural theorist, and others from this country and abroad.” (See “Symposium to draw prominent figures,” Seattle Times, 07/20/1980, H1.)
