This lecture is based on a book Kramer Woodard is currently writing about the bizarre and fascinating story of the conception and evolution of Turbulence House-an artist’s guest house in Abiqui New Mexico. Aptly named, it is the story of unusual site circumstances, untested technologies and eccentric people coming together in the hopes of accomplishing something extraordinary.
Kramer Woodard is an Architect in Albuquerque New Mexico where he is an  Associate Professor of Architecture at UNM School of Architecture and Planning. His work has received numerous awards and has been published world wide. He and Katya Crawford are cofounders of Session Design Studio an interdisciplinary practice that critically investigates Architecture, Landscape, and Product design. Both are presently teaching upper-pool Landscape and Architecture Studios at RMIT.
