Architect Andrés Duany is visiting the City of Elgin and Judson University for the first time to make a presentation titled “Making No Small Plans in the New Economy.” His presentation will be based on his firm's experience in and New Urbanism's commitment to building compact, sustainable, pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented communities.
Duany received the Driehaus Prize Laureate in 2008 and is a founder of the Congress for the New Urbanism. He also is a partner in Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, which has employed Judson graduates. Since Duany’s firm has employed Judson graduates, he will come to campus later that afternoon to review student work at Judson's LEED-Gold Harm A. Weber Academic Center.
The lecture is free but please RSVP online at www.gailborden.info by phone to 847-429-4680 or in person at Elgin's Gail Borden Library’s Information Desk.
