Lecture from the 2017 Anniversary Celebration

At the anniversary celebration, Dr. Stuart Leslie presented a lecture based on his paper, "A Different Kind of Beauty: I.M. Pei's Modernist Masterpiece." In this talk, Dr. Leslie placed the Mesa Lab within the context of other architecturally significant laboratories and discussed the theories and design processes that went into creating the Mesa Lab.
