The first evening of lectures by winners of The Architectural League Prize features Neeraj Bhatia of The Open Workshop; Hubert Pelletier and Yves de Fontenay of Pelletier de Fontenay; and Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy, DESIGN EARTH. The League Prize is one of North America’s most prestigious awards for young architects. This year’s theme, (im)permanence, asks how time affects architecture’s assertion of style, methods of assembly, and relationship to program, thus altering our expectations of permanent structures in an impermanent environment.

There will be an introduction from Jason Austin, 2010 League Prize winner and principal of Austin+Mergold.

The League thanks the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at The New School’s Parsons School of Design for co-sponsoring and hosting the League Prize exhibition and lectures.
