The Architectural Innovation of Moshe Safdie (Hybrid)

The Architectural Innovation of Moshe Safdie 

Guest speaker: Dr. Peter Harris 

Renowned Israeli-Canadian-American architect and urban planner Moshe Safdie sees architecture as “a generous act of connecting us to nature and creating meaningful spaces of community that serve as catalysts for vibrant public life.” This two-part multi-access series traces that inspiring notion, from his rise to fame with Montreal’s Habitat ’67, to his projects in Israel, to his current international eminence and advocacy of socially responsible projects around the world. 

Thursdays: October 12 & 19

1:00-2:30pm 

Join us in-person at the Miles Nadal JCC or virtually!
