Evolution of the Architect as Developer in the Sonoran Desert

Join Jason Boyer, FAIA, founder of Boyer Vertical, for an engaging evening exploring the evolution of Sonoran Desert architecture through the lens of the architect as developer. Hosted at Design Within Reach Scottsdale as part of the AIA AZ College of Fellows Lecture Series, this talk will examine how design, development, and construction—when unified under a single vision—can create timeless, climate-responsive architecture rooted in the Sonoran Desert. Drawing from award-winning projects including KARMA, artHAUS, and the forthcoming Living San Miguel, Boyer will share how his practice has evolved beyond traditional architecture to shape not just buildings, but the entire development process—aligning design integrity, sustainability, and investment performance to create places that are both enduring and deeply connected to their environment
