Iconoclastic architect Bernard Khoury is currently working on projects in the Arabian Gulf region. His commissions include banks and apartment buildings in Beirut, shopping malls in Kuwait, a women’s spa in Saudi Arabia, a 30-story office tower in Dubai, and a new media center in Armenia that are each, in different ways, a reflection of the cultural and economic transformation underway throughout the region.  With support from the UM Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD).

ABOUT THE PENNY STAMPS LECTURE SERIES
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.
