Iker Gil will lecture at Northwestern University´s Library, on January 23, 2020. The University Library 50th Anniversary Lecture celebrates the golden anniversary of the library designed by SOM architect Walter Netsch.

“Fifty years ago, University Library opened its doors for the first time. This bare concrete building, designed by SOM architect Walter Netsch, offered a striking modern counterpoint to the lavishly gothic Deering Library next door, while providing students spacious stacks and tantalizing views. Join Northwestern as we celebrate the golden anniversary of this campus icon with a lecture by Chicago-based architect Iker Gil, executive director of the SOM Foundation, about how Netsch’s Brutalist style shaped this and many other buildings on Northwestern’s campuses.”
