Working closely with Washington University in St. Louis, the Pulitzer hosted an architecture colloquium that detailed the collaboration required to build the Pulitzer, and which featured lively discussions on the design and construction of the building. The event was co-organized with architect Liane Hancock, who is working on a book about the building of the Pulitzer, and participants included the client, Emily Rauh Pulitzer, along with members of the local architecture firm, engineering firms, and construction team for the project. The keynote lecture was given by Masataka Yano, of Tadao Ando Architect & Associates, who was Project Architect during construction of the Pulitzer.
