Special Lecture: David Macaulay
WHO /WHAT
For more than 30 years, David Macaulay's illustrations have helped children—and adults—see and understand the architectural and engineering processes behind the built environment. During this lecture, Macaulay will discuss how he uses drawing not only to peel back exterior façades and interior walls, but also to show how buildings are designed and constructed. This lecture is held in conjunction with the exhibition David Macaulay: The Art of Drawing Architecture, which will be open for viewing.
