Summer Speaker Series: 'Summer by the Sea' with Thomas Kligerman

Description

Join us in the Meeting House at Weekapaug Inn for light bites, wine, and conversation with Thomas Kligerman, Weekapaug resident & principal at Ike Kligerman Barkley, a nationally recognized architecture firm.

A leading voice in contemporary classical architecture, Kligerman combines a deep respect for history with a modern approach to design. In this discussion, he will explore themes from his latest book, Summer by the Sea: Cottages from Watch Hill to Little Compton. The book is a story of the Rhode Island coast told through 16 cottages redolent with summer. Part architecture, part interiors, part history, the book brings to life these houses in beautiful photographs and invites you into the magical world near the ocean. Drawing on historic precedents and recent projects, Kligerman offers insight into how regional design responds to landscape, climate, and culture while remaining relevant today.
