Three noted architects will deliver public lectures at the School of Architecture in February as part of a semester-long series. The talks will be held on Mondays at
6:30 p.m. in Hastings Hall of the Art and Architecture Building, 180 York St. The lectures are free and open to the public, but seating is limited.

Peter Eisenman will present a lecture titled "Blurred Zones" on Feb. 1; Terry Riley will deliver the Brendan Gill Lecture on "Rethinking the Modern" on Feb. 8; and Philip Johnson will discuss "Current Works" on Feb. 15.

Eisenman, who is also an educator, is currently assisting Philip Johnson in teaching a studio course at the School of Architecture. He has designed a wide range of projects, including large-scale housing and urban design, educational institutions and private houses. His projects include the Wexner Center for the Visual Arts and Fine Arts Library at Ohio State University in Columbus and the Koizumi Sangyo Corporation headquarters in Tokyo, both of which won National Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects. He has taught at Yale and a number of other universities.

Riley is chief curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Since joining MoMA in 1991, he has curated many exhibitions, including an international survey of contemporary architecture and an installation highlighting the work of the 10 finalists and winner of the 1998 Mies van der Rohe Prize for Latin American Architecture. His honors include the National Faculty Design Award from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture.

Johnson is the Eero Saarinen Visiting Professor of Architectural Design at Yale this semester. Also a critic and curator, he has earned architecture's highest awards, including the AIA Gold Medal and the Pritzker Prize. Since 1932, he has held key positions at MoMA, where he founded the department of architecture and design. His best-known works include the Glass House complex in New Canaan, Connecticut, the Seagram Building, the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center, the Fort Worth Water Garden and the AT&T Corporate Headquarters. His design for a monumental clock in a public space at Lincoln Center was recently approved for manufacture.

Other lectures in the series will be announced in future issues of the Yale Bulletin & Calendar.
