He is a founding editor and now co-editor of the academic design journal Design Issues. The Many Objects of Urban Design The design of a city consists of a vast array of objects in addition to buildings. This lecture will consider the city as a collection of overlapping slices, each of which contains a set of similar components related to circulation, communication, information, culture, services, or exchange. A number of object typologies will be reviewed and examples will be presented from cities around the world, photographed at first hand. The public is cordially invited to lectures presented by the Department of Art and Art History as space permits.
All events are free unless otherwise noted.
