Lectures + Workshops
Our lectures and workshops provide an opportunity for expansive, inclusive and ongoing public dialogue about the design of our shared urban environment in Santa Fe.
Organized around provocative and timely themes, these events invite expert speakers—architects, planners, developers, policymakers, academics—to engage the community on important issues of sustainable urban development, preservation, social equity and livability. These are opportunities for both the audience and invited speakers to share knowledge, revise opinions, and participate in creating better design and policy outcomes.

Exclusion: Santa Fe Style 1990S - Present
January 23, 2025 | Lecture + Panel Discussion
In the first two sessions of our ReVision: The Future of Santa Fe Style program series, we examined the history of Santa Fe style - the design creativity that launched the initiative in 1912 and its stylistic evolution and design experimentation through the 1980s.
In Session 3, we will turn towards the present to assess our City’s contemporary design practice. A presentation by FASF Board President, Anthony Guida, will evaluate the impact that 65 years of style and preservation mandates have had on the culture, livability, and sustainability of our city.

2020-21: ReVisioning History Series
To better inform solutions to the contemporary challenges of our shared built environment, ReVisioning History proposes a critical re-examination of the collective values and visions that have historically guided Santa Fe’s plans for the future.
This series consists of public discussions organized around a set of interrelated topics that have, and continue to shape our physical environment, our daily lives and our communities: planning, preservation, housing, and sustainability. Each session will pair contemporary experts in architecture, planning and community development with plans and studies commissioned by the City of Santa Fe over the last 50 years. Analysis and participatory discussions will inform, inspire and animate new collective visions for a more livable, equitable and sustainable Santa Fe.
