SUMMARY:Architecture and Design Network Lecture Series: Nerin Kadribegovic
DESCRIPTION:The mission of the Architecture and Design Network (ADN) is to educate the public about architecture\, design\, and related disciplines and the ways in which their practice shapes communities and affects people’s lives. \nIn this free lecture entitled “From Blight to Bright\,” you are invited to hear from Nerin Kadribegovic\, Founder and Principal of Kadre Architects. Through a deep dive into California’s housing insecurity – examining how we got here\, and the ways we are moving forward – his talk will center around Kadre’s solutions for the housing crisis including temporary\, interim\, permanent housing projects and important community support spaces. Many of the constructed projects and the designs currently in construction examine community impact and set aggressive sustainability goals. \nBefore the lecture\, enjoy a short reception from 5:30-6:00 p.m. in the Atrium. The lecture begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Governor Winthrop Rockefeller Lecture Hall. \nAbout Nerin Kadribegovic\nNerin Kadribegovic’s passion for navigating complex design problems\, especially where economy is of paramount importance\, captures an eye for beauty and design\, notably in social cause\, that results in unconventional\, award-winning solutions. Obsessed with artfully directing natural light to create nuanced\, playful moments\, he ushers a spirit of dignity into places\, where least expected\, through the aesthetic design opportunity. \nA third-generation architect who endured displacement as a refugee of the wars in Yugoslavia and Bosnia\, Nerin has directly experienced the impact of chaotic social and environmental disruption on people and society. This alert awareness evokes deep empathic connection to critical issues facing metropolitan urban centers around the world gripped by environmental or socioeconomic crises. \nThe wartime reality imposed a fragility on life and shelter\, that ignited his resolve in dissolving obstacles. Protecting a broken community\, Nerin developed the uncanny ability to transform whatever material was at one’s disposal into something of functionality\, beauty and meaning. Instilling hope and safety during hardship has become second nature\, embedded into his mindset\, both in design and leadership for social cause. \nPrior to launching Kadre\, Nerin was a partner at the award-winning firm of Lehrer Architects. When the pandemic brought needed urgency to protect Los Angeles’s most vulnerable population\, Nerin led passionately in creating a template for tackling and ameliorating the city’s 60\,000-person homelessness issue. During the height of the health crisis\, he led the team through an accelerated\, aggressive timeline to provide bridge housing. His designs – in collaboration with the City government\, first on the AETNA Bridge Home\, followed by designs for Tiny Home Villages – now serve as the lodestar to ending the homeless crisis in the City of Los Angeles. These projects have raised and set the City’s design standards for sheltering the homeless. \n\nPhoto by Paul Vu.
