The Pritzker Architecture Prize and Illinois Institute of Technology College of Architecture will convene a special event featuring 2024 laureate Riken Yamamoto on Thursday, May 16th, titled Community: The Architect as Catalyst for Change, the 2024 Laureate Lecture and Panel Discussion. The gathering is being presented in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Center and gives fans of architecture the chance to hear rare public remarks from Yamamoto at an American venue.
The Japanese architect will discuss his career-long orientation to community design and desire to create space for people to find each other at a time when architects are everywhere looking to affect a socially dispositive built environment. Past Laureates David Chipperfield (2023), Francis Kéré (2022), and Anne Lacaton (2021) join the 79-year-old for a post-talk discussion in historic S.R. Crown Hall.
The talk will be live broadcast to students at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Yokohama Graduate School of Architecture before a public recording is released later in the fall.
The free event is open to the public with limited capacity. Registration is required.
