Prominent African-American Architect to Speak at Scripps

  • News Releases

Architect Jack Travis will discuss “Barch: Degree of Difficulty,” on Thursday, March 7, at 7:00 p.m. in the Hampton Room of the Malott Commons on the Scripps College campus. Travis appears as part of the Intercollegiate Department of Black Studies at The Claremont Colleges 2001-2002 Speaker Series, “Integrated Worlds: Race, Science, and Community.” This lecture is free and open to the public.

Since establishing Jack Travis Architect (JTA) in 1985, Mr. Travis has gained notoriety for his cutting edge views on the fusion of culture and design, frequently including in his design work forms, motifs, material, and colors that reflect an African heritage. As a result, he has been involved in over 100 interior residential and commercial design projects for such high profile clients as Spike Lee, Giorgio Armani SPA, and Wesley Snipes. In addition, Travis founded and operates The Studio For Afri-Culturalism in Architecture & Design, a nonprofit organization that collects, documents, and disseminates information on the relationship between culture and architecture throughout the African continent and in the Diaspora.

Jack Travis lives and works in Harlem, New York, and is currently adjunct professor of interior design at Pratt Institute, The Fashion Institute of Technology, and Parsons School of Design. He is actively involved in several elementary and secondary school mentorship programs, including Walks of Life and the prestigious Learning Through Art, and, along with colleagues, directs a summer workshop program for design students.

Established in 1969, the IDBS offers a rich program of multidisciplinary teaching and scholarship to all students at The Claremont Colleges. Its mission is to examine through various academic disciplines the experiences of people of African heritage worldwide.
