Notable Neighbor's Presents: Lamar Johnson Interviewed by Al Parchem


 

Lamar currently heads up his own architectural firm, the Lamar Johnson Collaborative.  He was an integral to the start and growth of what is now a well- established, large Chicago office of an international architectural practice.  Lamar is a person of strong opinions diplomatically expressed, usually.  When asked what the purpose of architecture is, he says that what the architect ultimately does is solve problems.  What in the world does he mean?  What about beautiful buildings and spaces?  Join the conversation with Lamar and NCCA Board President Al Parchem and be enlightened by this fascinating, thoughtful iconoclast (https://theljc.com/leadership/lamar-johnson/).

         Interviews with Notable Neighbors

Many of us living in Oak Park, River Forest, and the surrounding communities have resided in the area for years. As you undoubtedly know, we are surrounded by talented neighbors who do interesting, meaningful things. Perhaps we talk to them at a block party or a neighborhood potluck (in the pre-COVID-19 days), or at T-ball games. Slowly over several encounters we discover their vocations and avocations. At some point we say, “Wait a minute, this person is doing really unique things. Others ought to know about this”.

The purpose of our new NCCA interview series is to introduce these notable neighbors to a wider audience. You are encouraged to nominate local folks whom you think fit the definition of people who do things that would be of interest to our members as well as a general audience. The program is an interview format lasting about 45 minutes with a period for audience questions afterward.
