Saša Begović held a lecture at the prestigious Illinois Institute of Architecture in Chicago. He also participated on the Studio critic on April 17. This event has been organized by the American Institute of Architecture at Illinois Tech. Begović spoke about his experiences as an architect trained in Croatia, about 3LHDs' work, and dialogues between Croatian and American architecture, elaborating on the differences between architecture in the two regions in terms of culture, influences, regulations, and more. He was selected to speak this semester after the students had the realization that too often lectures only feature American architects. "We saw this as an excellent chance to invite an international architect to perform a comparison and contrast with American architecture for those who are interested in practicing overseas after graduation to expand their professional horizons," says Andrew Jiang, AIAS Chapter President.
