Architect Peter Bohlin is well known for his wide range of work, including the retail stores for Apple worldwide, public institutions such as the new Newport Beach City Hall, and cultural buildings including the Discovery and Visitor Center in Grand Teton National Park. This fall, he will bring his internationally renowned talent to Houston´s own Hermann Park. Selected by Hermann Park Conservancy, Bohlin and his team at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson have accepted the charge to design the entry pavilion within Hermann Park´s newest treasure, the Centennial Gardens. As the Conservancy´s largest and lushest undertaking to date, the Centennial Gardens will honor and celebrate 100 years of Hermann Park, which will reach this milestone year in 2014.

In 2010, the American Institute of Architects awarded Bohlin its Gold Medal, the highest achievement bestowed upon an individual architect by the Institute. His ability to augment the experience of one´s surroundings through architecture makes him an exciting choice and ideal fit to design the signature structure situated in eight acres of breath-taking gardens.

Join us for an evening with Peter Bohlin and learn more about his design philosophy and plans for Houston´s Hermann Park. Discussion moderated by Sarah M. Whiting, Dean, Rice School of Architecture.

This lecture is free and open to the public, but printed tickets are required. Tickets are available online, by phone at 713-639-7771, or at any admissions desk at the MFAH.
