The Architecture & Design Film Festival:DC, presented by the National Building Museum with the Revada Foundation of the Logan Family, returns for another run with a live, in-person Spotlight on Design. Join fellow architects, designers, filmmakers, and design enthusiasts for the Washington, D.C. premiere of Mau, the first feature-length documentary about the design visionary Bruce Mau. Over the span of his career, Mau has transformed from a world-class graphic designer to designer of the world by advising global brands like Coca Cola and Disney -- and rethinking a 1,000-year plan for Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.

Following the screening of the film, hear a conversation with Bruce Mau and ask your own questions. Then, share your thoughts and reflections with others over drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres during the opening night reception.
