Cesar Pelli lecture cancelled

The lecture by Cesar Pelli, scheduled for 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 12 on campus has been cancelled due to illness.

It will be rescheduled at a later date.

In addition to his design for Madison’s Overture Center, now under construction, Pelli has created many famous structures, including the world’s tallest building – the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

Pelli recently strengthened his Madison ties when staff from his firm, Cesar Pelli & Associates, New Haven, Conn., participated in a UW–Madison course offered during the fall semester. The course, Overture: The Art and Design of a Cultural Arts Center, analyzed the development of the design of the Overture Center from inception to execution.
