Throughout an over 50-year career, Ralph Johnson has designed some of the world’s most quietly iconic buildings, from 100 Riverside Plaza in his hometown of Chicago to the Shanghai Natural History Museum. Whether building schools or skyscrapers, Johnson's legacy of diverse projects reveals spaces tailored to communities around the globe.
Join the architect to explore how the design culture at Perkins&Will, where he is the firmwide design director, provides the latitude for individual expression to emerge within its global practice and discover the epochal changes he's seen in architecture across half a century.
This program is made possible by the R. Solomon Lectureship Fund.
