About the Event
John Thodos, FAIA (1934 - 2009), cultivated a fiercely independent and sophisticated Modernism which he deftly melded with the particulars of place and context creating some of the most distinguished architecture on the Monterey Peninsula. This talk traces his life and development of his unique style with a special focus on his iconic works in Carmel-by-the-Sea, demonstrating his sensitive use of scale, material, form, and detail.
About the Speaker Erik Dyar, AIA, is an architect based in Carmel. Before establishing DYAR Architecture (dyararchitecture.com), Erik worked with John Thodos for 17 years as his primary associate. He received a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Oregon, is long-time chair of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea’s Historic Resource Board, is the 2021 President of AIA Monterey Bay, and author of the book "The House of Light", published by ORO Editions, on the story of John Thodos’ last built design--an extraordinary home in Menlo Park, California.
