Virginia Burt, FCSLA, FASLA and BLA Alumna, has written a second book called Capturing Essence. [1] The book is a natural expression that illustrates the passion, spirit and distinction of the work of Virginia Burt Designs, which celebrated the 30th year of the firm.    

Virginia will give a lecture as part of the professional practice course, with a pizza lunch, followed by a Q&A and book selling/signing.  All are welcome to attend.
