American architect Harry Weese (1915–1998) combined a modernist’s aesthetic with a humanist’s sensitivity in small- and large-scale building projects.  Robert Bruegmann, historian and author of The Architecture of Harry Weese (Norton), and Roger Lewis, The Washington Post's "Shaping the City" columnist, explore the life of Weese, focusing on Weese’s local work that includes the Washington, D.C. Metro system, Arena Stage, and his role in selecting Maya Lin’s winning design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. A book-signing follows. This lecture complements the exhibition Washington: Symbol and City, which is open prior to the lecture.
