Roman Mars (99% Invisible) speaks at Prospect Sierra School

Prospect Sierra’s Authors & Lectures Committee presents Roman Mars, host of 99% Invisible, who will present a live version of his popular, award-winning program. 99% Invisible is a public radio show and podcast about design, architecture and all the thought that goes into things most people don’t even think about. Ira Glass calls 99% Invisible “completely wonderful…entertaining, and beautifully produced.” You’ll hear stories about various objects (buildings, shelves, games, graphics, flags and even parentheses) that have very little in common except they were designed by humans, and how they were designed reveals something important about who we are as thinkers and problem solvers. Even more than aesthetics, story is the universal language of design.
