SPECIAL EVENING AT METALCON WITH ARCHITECT ICON, YANN WEYMOUTH
The Dalí Museum is one of the local area's preeminent attractions. Designed by world-renowned architect Yann Weymouth of HOK, it combines the rational with the fantastical: a simple rectangle with 18-inch thick hurricane-proof walls out of which erupts a large free-form geodesic glass bubble known as the “enigma.” METALCON is thrilled to bring you a special evening to learn from the architect himself, also internationally known for his work as chief of design for I.M. Pei on the Grand Louvre Project in Paris. This rare and personal engagement has limited capacity and requires a separate registration. Transportation, keynote and a docent tour of museum included. Learn more about Yann Weymouth, FAIA
