Prof. Jacques Herzog, a world-famous architect and recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize 2001, visited the School of Architecture as the guest speaker for the 2015 Kinoshita Lecture in Architecture on 28 January, attracting over 700 staff and students, alumni, and architectural professionals in attendance.

The title of the lecture was 'Being with Art', an inspiring talk about the approach and philosophy of Professor Herzog's practice to designing spaces for contemporary art.  Showing more than a dozen projects spanning 25 years, including museums and institutions located around the world, Professor Herzog was able to transmit his powerful thoughts to a captivated audience. The last part of the lecture focused on an in-depth explanation of the new M+ Museum Project, part of the West Kowloon Cultural District, showing materials that had never been presented to the public before.
