In this installment of the winter 2024-2025 Architecture of Place series, American architect and educator Sara Bega will be joined by Canadian architect and artist for an informal discussion of Bega鈥檚 career and the role of place-making in her architectural practice.

Sara Bega鈥檚 work is dedicated to the creation of enduring built environments that celebrate valued traditions and cultures.

Bega is former Town Architect of Las Catalinas, a hilltown on Costa Rica鈥檚 Guanacaste coast. For over a decade she led architectural and urban design efforts, developing strategies for car-free urbanism filled with vernacular architecture. Throughout her tenure, Bega鈥檚 design work focused on fabric buildings, public spaces, and micro-phased neighborhood plans. Las Catalinas received a CNU Charter Award (2022) and Urban Guild Design Excellence Awards (2020).
