Thursday, September 22, 7:00 pm Berlin's Jewish Museum: A Personal Tour with Daniel Libeskind - Daniel Libeskind is an exciting and unconventional figure in the world of architecture. Berlin's Jewish Museum: A Personal Tour with Daniel Libeskind, features Libeskind, who is questioned by Alan Riding, New York Times journalist, as he takes him through the building. During this walking tour, he reveals to Riding the entire architectural and philosophical concept of the building's design.

Thursday, September 29, 7:00 pm Philip Johnson: Diary of an Eccentric Architect Philip Johnson has always been on the forefront of stylistic change, and his property in New Canaan, Connecticut, is a kind of laboratory where Johnson is his own best client. It was there that he built the famous "Glass House" that he still resides in. The house has no walls and an accompanying guesthouse, by contrast, has no windows, though it is light and sensuous inside. We visit these, as well as the gallery that houses Johnson's extensive collection of contemporary art on its revolving walls.
