Unbound: Architecture’s Untold Stories
During the AIA Wisconsin Conference on April 23 at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, community voices came together to spotlight the legacy of Alonzo Robinson Jr.—Wisconsin’s first registered Black architect.
Speakers Eric Vogel and Kim Robinson representing Docomomo WI, Chris Rute, AIA RIBA representing the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance, and Erik Hancock, AIA representing NOMA shared a lecture and panel discussion exploring Alonzo Robinson Jr.’s work, impact, preservation efforts, and continued relevance today.
This lecture marks the fifth in an ongoing series featuring historic minority voices in architecture by Docomomo Wisconsin board members.
The conversation continues this June in Minneapolis, followed by a presentation at the NOMA Conference in Miami this fall.
