Join us on Wednesday, October 29 in the Architecture Auditorium for a public lecture delivered by K. Michael Hays as part of the Architecture Centennial Lecture Series.
Michael Hays has played a central role in the advancement of architectural theory and the role of the architect as cultural critic. As editor of Assemblage and author of numerous books, he has focused attention on the work of Hannes Meyer, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Mies van der Rohe; as well as Peter Eisenman, Machado & Silvetti and the late John Hejduk. He is the Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory at Harvard University and the first curator of architecture at the Whitney Museum of American Art where he directed the recent exhibition on Buckminster Fuller.
AIA credits available. Please consider car-pooling or public transportation as parking on campus is complex. COA recommends Technology Square Parking Deck on Spring Street just south of 5th. For additional information, call 404.894.3880.
