Breather Benefitting The American Institue of Architects Scholarship Program Atlanta Chapter
Breather is a brand that gives back. It was founded by Dr. William “Bill” Carpenter, FAIA, DPACSA to give back specifically for scholarships to underrepresented students to study Architecture and Design. Breather is inspired by the multi-disciplinary legacy of Virgil Abloh who studied architecture at Illinois Institute of Technology and served as artistic director for Louis Vuitton in Paris and artistic director of OFFWHITE.
Breather is a Design Conference, a website of inspiration and design, an app that celebrates healing and beauty. It builds upon his 35-year legacy in teaching and innovation and his retirement this year (2023). It also celebrates his achievement as National AIAS/ACSA Educator of the Year and ACSA National Distinguished Professor Medalist.
Dr. Carpenter was also selected as Chancellor of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture College of Distinguished Professors and recently nominated for its highest honor; The 2023 ACSA Topaz Medallion.
Dr. Carpenter is the founder of Lightroom in Atlanta (www.lightroom.tv) and serves as full Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at Kennesaw State University College of Architecture and Construction Management. This scholarship will raise funds specifically targeted this year for women and minority students.
“Thank you, Maryan Aiken and CityBox Media and all of our partners for believing in this vision of this important and meaningful initiative.”
