POWER VS PALLADIO
Thursday 08 October 2020, 7pm - 8pm \ via Zoom
Tom Dyckhoff, Owen Hatherley, Leopold Lambert, Lesley Lokko & Rowan Moore
Architectural history and critique have until fairly recently relied on a Eurocentric approach and narrative. Palladio [or insert any other western white male architect] is a symbol of high culture in architecture; an architecture with a capital A. When we critique architecture and design, it is largely an examination of its formal qualities and aesthetic value. But what stories are left untold?
Join Shawn Adams, Nana Biamah-Ofosu and the panel of invited guests as they discuss the relationship between architectural journalism and power.
