In the discussion “Signscape Architecture,” architects and co-founders of Seattle’s Lead Pencil Studio Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo talk with Jason Griffiths, an award-winning architect and professor. At Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, the trio will converse about the implications of selling out art – in this case architectural design – to accommodate for-profit signage.

The dialogue occurs in conjunction with “Extended Collapse,” Han and Mihalyo’s architectural installation, which is on display at SMoCA through October 16.
