South Changing Exhibitions Gallery

​
Visioning Structure celebrates the 40-year career of LRMA’s award-winning architect Edward Hoffman, Jr. Recognized as a favorite son of Tarpon Springs, Hoffman has left a mark on the built environment of the city since opening Hoffman Architects, P.A., in 1981.

Highlighting the major projects of Hoffman’s illustrious career, this exhibition merges his passion for local history and modernism through architectural sketches, plans, renderings, models, presentation boards, and prints. His design legacy extends throughout the state of Florida and his firm has received numerous awards for architectural design, energy efficiency, and community service by the American Association of Architects (AIA). Hoffman’s design of the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art received the H. Dean Rowe, FAIA Award of Excellence in 2002 and was recognized in Florida Architecture: 100 Years, 100 Places (#42) in 2012.

Thank you to our sponsors!
