Twenty Summers: “Architecture, Fish, and the Sea,” with MAER Director Scott Landry

We invite you to a conversation that bridges architecture, marine life, and the industrial heritage of Cape Cod, while highlighting the important historical connections between Portugal and the Cape. This event will feature André Tavares, Professor of Architecture at the University of Porto, whose book, Architecture Follows Fish: An Amphibious History of the North Atlantic [MIT University Press, 2024], explores how fishing practices an marine life have shaped coastal architecture and landscapes.

The discussion will be enriched by the participation of Scott Landry, Christy Anderson, and Morgan O’Hara. Together, they’ll delve into topics like the design of fish houses and harbor facilities on Cape Cod, the role of architecture in sustaining fish communities, and the ecological challenges of balancing tradition with sustainability
