Thursday, May 2, 7:00 pm

Rosmarie Bogner has studied the effect of place on our cultural psychology. A former professional photographer, Bogner chose film and image to convey what place can mean to people in a culture whose architecture often disregards the physical and psychological needs of its clients.

Places: Dialogues with Land, Home, the Earth, a seventy minute film recorded in digital video, shows the interaction of seven participants with places that have meaning for them.

• Rosmarie Bogner The abstract from her dissertation from Pacifica University.
• The Not So Big House Sarah Susanka is an architect whose philosophy is that design for comfort and style is more important than size.
