Spotlight on Design

Ongoing Signature Lecture Series

Since its inception in 1997, the National Building Museum’s Spotlight on Design lecture series has presented the work of luminaries in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and design.

A unique opportunity to explore the fascinating life and work of visionary practitioners, Spotlight on Design celebrates the creative journey and cultural influences that characterize the built environment.
Past speakers include Pritzker Prize laureates Tadao Ando, Jean Nouvel, and Zaha Hadid; National Medal of Arts laureates Laurie Olin and Billie Tsien; American Institute of Architects Gold Medalists Antoine Predock and Marlon Blackwell; and the American Society of Landscape Architects' Medal recipients Richard Haag and Joseph E. Brown.
