Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104

Through a series of award-winning design projects and buildings, Bjarke Ingels has achieved an international reputation as a member of a new generation of architects who combine shrewd analysis, playful experimentation, social responsibility and humor. For Ingels, "Architecture evolves from the collision of political, economical, functional, logistical, cultural, structural, environmental and social interests, as well as interests yet unnamed and unforeseen. How to tell such a complex story in a simple way?" With support from Taubman College, the School of Natural Resources and the Environment, and the Program in the Environment.

Established with the generous support of alumna Penny W. Stamps, the Distinguished Visitors Program brings respected emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to the School to conduct a public lecture and engage with students, faculty, and the larger University and Ann Arbor communities. Additional support is provided by our media sponsor, Michigan Radio.

Unless otherwise noted, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater, located at 603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor, and are free of charge and open to the public.
