The exhibition Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie explores Moshe Safdie’s structures and the philosophy that shapes them through approximately 175 drawings, sketches, videos, photographs and scale models. Discover how the world-renowned Israeli-born architect, who studied at McGill University, designed impressive buildings and created avant-garde communities in Canada, the United States and across the world. This is the first comprehensive exhibition of the architect’s work in more than three decades and presents both Safdie’s formative work of the 1960s and his recent projects.

Global Citizen was organized by the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas, and the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, with the assistance of McGill University. The exhibition tour includes the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa from October 6, 2010-January 9, 2011; the Chicago Cultural Center in Chicago from May 7-September 18, 2011; the Skirball Cultural Center in the fall of 2012 (dates to be confirmed), and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in the summer of 2013 (dates to be confirmed).
