Atherton Memorial Lecture is part of the National Building Museum Symposium “Power, Architecture and Politics: The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and the Design of Washington”.
The lecture will take place next Wednesday, May 19 at the National Building Museum, 401 F Street NW Washington, DC from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. More information here.
…that’s a shame.
They picked Libeskind? What’s that discredited moron got to say about architecture?
Watch Daniel Libeskind’s 17 words of architectural inspiration at TED.com and see what a genius Libeskind is in Architectural Theory and in the presentation of lectures. Daniel Libeskind is THE GENIUS
After the screw ups in Toronto and Denver, I guess Libeskind won’t be discussing his experience with waterproof detailing!! LOL!!!
Seems to be a wasted opportunity giving up the lecture to this has-been.
Libeskind??? Who cares about what he has to say? They should have picked someone whose architecture is relevant.
Should be good for a few laughs. It’s not like you can take him seriously.
