Peter Q. Bohlin, FAIA, winner of the American Institute of Architects' highest individual honor, will present the 2011 Charles E. "Chick" Herbert Lecture in the ISU Architecture Advisory Council Lecture Series. Bohlin's presentation, "Soft Modernism: The Nature of Circumstance," is free and open to the public.

Bohlin is the founding principal of Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-based Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, winner of the 1994 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Architecture Firm Award-the AIA's highest award recognizing architectural practice. The firm has received nine national AIA Honor Awards and more than 500 regional, national and international awards.

A Fellow of the AIA, Bohlin received the 2010 AIA Gold Medal, the highest honor for an individual's contribution to the practice and theory of architecture. He served as chairman of the AIA Committee on Design in 1984-85 and has been a guest design critic and visiting professor at a number of leading schools of architecture in the U.S. and abroad. He frequently serves as a juror for national, regional and state competitions. He is a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council.

The Charles E. "Chick" Herbert Lecture was established in 2010 in memory of 1951 Iowa State architectural engineering alumnus Chick Herbert, FAIA, the founding principal of Herbert Lewis Kruse Blunck Architecture (HLKB) in Des Moines and recipient of the 2007 Distinguished Alumni Award, the highest honor given to Iowa State alumni by the ISU Alumni Association. It is part of the ISU Architecture Advisory Council Lecture Series.
