Wang Shu at Crown Hall Tomorrow

I guess it's never to late to add another event to the March calendar.

We received word today that Pritzker-Prize winning architect Wang Shu, who will be lecturing at the Art Institute this evening, will also participate in a panel discussion that will take place tomorrow, March 29th, in the upper Core at Crown Hall, IIT, 3360 South State.  The event is free and open to the public. 

In a related note, the lecture at IIT by Juhani Pallasmaa, Minding Design: Neuroscience, Design Education, and the Imagination,  has been moved up a day, and will now take place Monday, April 1st, 6:00 p.m. at the McCormick Tribune Campus Center, 3201 South State.  We're working on the April calendar and hope to have it up soon.  (Seriously - no April fooling.)
