What do Prague, London, New York, and Tehran have in common? Martin Holub, a Czech-American architect, has lived, designed buildings, and enriched lives in all these places. In his presentation, Martin will discuss his two books, Martin's Scribbles I and Martin's Scribbles II, which offer an entertaining account of his experiences as an architect and expat. He also provides a very personal and intimate witness of the world recent history. Sometimes humorous, sometimes shocking, Martin shares memorable anecdotes and reflections that inform and amuse. 

Martin’s talk will include reading from his books. Q&A will follow the presentation. Moderated by Christopher Harwood.
