Norwich University School of Architecture + Art is honored to present our second
guest speaker of the MATERIALITY: FABRICATION FOR COMMUNITY lecture series.  Zena Howard
is Principal and Managing Director of the North Carolina practice of global architecture and design firm,
Perkins + Will. An award-winning architect, strategist, mentor and team builder, Zena is known for her
success leading visionary, complex, and culturally significant projects.  
Howard will be joining us in Chaplin Hall on Friday, Nov. 3 , 2023, at 4 PM. The lecture free and open
to the public and can be live streamed at the link above.

Howard has been recognized as a citizen architect for shaping architecture through Remembrance
Design, a design process that responds to inequity and injustice by restoring lost cultural connections
and honoring collective memory and history. Her most notable work includes the Smithsonian
Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., and The
Durham County Human Services Complex in Durham, North Carolina.  She is aware of the emotional
link between people and places in the built environment. This premise guides her work as the global
chair for cultural and civic engagement as well as her responsibility in uniting communities and
advancing the welfare of the public. 

The Norwich University Architecture + Arts Lecture series is made possible in part through a generous grant from
the Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation, a philanthropic organization supporting cancer research, education,
volunteerism, and other charitable endeavors, backs the School of Architecture + Art Lecture Series. For more
than 10 years, the Byrne Foundation and Norwich University have partnered to bring eminent national and
international architects, designers, artists, and writers to campus. Events are free and open to the public.
