Architect Jeffrey Beers, latest Thomas J. Volpe Series speaker, shares secrets of good design
St. Francis College welcomed award-winning architect Jeffrey Beers as the latest speaker for the Thomas J. Volpe Lecture Series on Nov. 10.
Beers, whose work includes Jay-Z’s 40-40 Club, China Grill and parts of the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, spoke about creativity and innovation, saying that he doesn’t believe in one specific “aha” moment, but rather an accumulation of events and hard work.
“I believe that innovation is essentially risk taking on steroids, and in order to create new and better products and services we must all take on much greater risk,” he said.
