On March 21, 2011, London architect John Pawson will present the 2011 Harwell Hamilton Harris Endowed Lecture at NC State University in Raleigh, N.C. This annual lecture honors the late, former professor of architecture who taught at NC State from 1962 to 1975. Upon his death in 1990, Harris left to the College of Design an endowment that funds this annual lecture.

John Pawson’s groundbreaking career was recently celebrated with a major retrospective of his work at the Design Museum of London. The acclaimed exhibition, titled “Plain Space,” was documented by a book of the same name. A reception will follow the lecture where copies of John Pawson’s book Plain Space will be available for purchase and signing.
