Lecture
Twenty-first century architecture calls for a savvy and fluid balance of high-tech solutions and age-old practices. Whether it’s the latest in “greener” lumber and composite materials or using earth blocks and filtrating plants, today’s architects and designers have more options than ever. Join renowned Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang as she addresses the pressing contemporary challenges of urbanization and climate change and calls attention to the need for innovation at both “high” and “low” ends of the technology spectrum.
This 2011 Conant Lecture honors the memory of Howard Conant, Sr. This program is also generously underwritten in part by The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation.
