Architecture: Writing on the Walls

3:00pm Boston Public Library Rabb Lecture Hall 700 Boylston Street

Join us as two world-renowned architects explain how the design of a building can tell a story. Moshe Safdie first made news with Habitat at Expo ’67 and his recent work, from Yad Vashem to Crystal Bridges, continues to inspire. Eric Kuhne’s goal is to “bring back the pageantry of civic life to cities and towns” which he has done in projects like Riverwalk in Virginia and Bluewater Park in the UK. Hosted by Neri Oxman of the MIT Media Lab.
