SUMMARY:Heart Mountain: A History and Architecture Talk with Allen Rapacz
DESCRIPTION:Allen Rapacz will give a talk about the bombing of Pearl Harbor 
 and subsequent internment of Japanese Americans\, focusing on the Heart 
 Mountain Japanese Internment Camp where Japanese-Americans were detained 
 during World War II. At its height Heart Mountain detained 10\,767 people 
 and 14\,000 Japanese-American internees passed through the camp during the 
 roughly 3 years that it operated. Surrounded by barbed wire and 9 guard 
 towers\, the camp was an imposing detention center far from the coastal 
 Californian and Washington homes of the people sent there. Currently the 
 site is home to the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center\, which tells the 
 stories of the detained Japanese-Americans and preserves this moment of the 
 country's history to educate future generations. \n\nAllen Rapacz\, a 1982 
 graduate of North Dakota State University\, began his architectural career 
 with Foss Architects in the Fargo Moorhead region of North Dakota and 
 Minnesota. In October 1982\, he relocated to Billings\, Montana\, where he 
 helped establish and operate the firm’s branch office. In 1986\, Schutz 
 Foss Architects (SFA) was formed and has since grown into a respected 
 regional architectural design firm. Licensed in Montana\, Wyoming\, 
 Colorado\, Kansas\, Idaho\, Iowa\, Minnesota\, Nebraska\, North Dakota\, 
 South Dakota\, and Utah\, the firm provides a broad range of design 
 services\, including civic\, healthcare\, liturgical\, and residential 
 projects. Many Design Awards have been achieved including a National AIA 
 award in 2016. Throughout his career\, Allen Rapacz has provided design 
 leadership and played a key role in project development and firm 
 expansion\, including the establishment of branch offices in Gillette\, 
 Wyoming\, and Dickinson\, North Dakota. Over the course of his career\, he 
 has been involved in more than 2\,500 projects. Among the most notable are 
 the Heart Mountain Interpretive Learning Center and the Mineta Simpson 
 Institute\, both of which reflect a strong commitment to projects of 
 historical and cultural significance.
