Michael Arad, designer of the National September 11 Memorial at the World Trade Center, will be on campus today to talk about his career experiences.
He is speaking at a new lecture series honoring the late Thomas Galloway, founding chair of the urban planning graduate program in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
“He was a very important person in the planning of the school here,” said John Gaunt, dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
The lecture series is supported financially by Galloway’s wife, Sharon Galloway.
Arad is scheduled to speak at 6:30 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
His lecture will detail his experiences as an urban planner and his design for the World Trade Center memorial.
“I think the whole situation involving the World Trade Center is of ongoing interest and fascination and it’s sort of enriched in a sense by not only the interest in the place and purpose itself, but by the process,” Gaunt said. “I certainly think this would be a really interesting event for the people at KU.”
The event is free and open to the public.
