Artist Reception: David Knopp's Form + Function
2024-11-21 17:30 - 18:30
Join us at the Center for Architecture & Design (100 N Charles Street) for one last chance to see and feel six pieces from this body of work.
November 21, 2024
5:30 – 6:30 PM
During the mid-seventies David Knopp started working with plywood as his medium. It was accessible and inexpensive material to use in the self-trained process of stack lamination. As his work progressed, he discovered the linear strata inherent in the medium. Expressing movement with the “strata” became his aim.
Knopp is a lifetime Baltimore resident. His works have earned numerous awards, with one of his sculpted chairs being in the permanent collection of the American Visionary Arts Museum.
Please indicate your interest in attending the reception by completing this short RSVP form.

Lovely Lane Renovations

Register here to join AIA Baltimore’s Historic Resources Committee for a presentation from architect Donald Kann about his work renovating Lovely Lane United Methodist Church. This event will take place within the church’s sanctuary.
Lovely Lane United Methodist Church is a c. l885 Romanesque-style church designed by renowned architect Stanford White. Historic preservation and restoration has occurred in multiple phases since 1980. This presentation will discuss the existing conditions in 1984 when presenter Donald Kann began his restoration work. It will cover the sequence of the reroofing options, planning for and completing the rehabilitation of the sanctuary interior, and planning for further rehabilitation. It will also touch on future opportunities for the church as an arts and neighborhood center.
Donald Kann is a principal in charge at Michael Graves Architecture and directs many of the firm’s large scale, multi-disciplined projects throughout the mid-Atlantic region. In addition to the Lovely Lane project, Donald has been involved in many of Baltimore’s most notable preservation or adaptive reuse projects including City Hall, Garrett Jacobs Mansion, Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Patterson Park Observatory, and many others. His work has received design and preservation awards from organizations such as AIA, Maryland Historical Trust, and Preservation Maryland. Appointed by a succession of Baltimore City mayors, he served as a Commissioner on Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation in Baltimore City (CHAP) for 25 years, including four years as Chair of the Commission.
