I hope the first week of classes treated you well. So far I’m excited about this semester. The students in all of my classes seem engaged, so I thought that you all might like to know about this upcoming talk.

TIMELESS or OF ITS TIME?
THURSDAY, 17 JANUARY, 2008
Tod Williams and Billie Tsien
Location Charleston Museum Auditorium, John Street and Meeting Street intersection
Reception 6:15pm, with coffee and cookies to follow lecture
Lecture 7:00 pm
Parking Charleston Museum parking lot
For as long as it has had a sense of its own past, Charleston has been debating the appropriateness of design for historic places: should we hold to the grand traditions of the past or should we make new contributions to those traditions? What is often presented as a clear choice may, in fact, be more ambiguous: “In short, the only rule common to all… canonical work, so endlessly discussed, [is that it must] have permanent value and, which is really the same thing, perpetual modernity.”—Frank Kermode
This lecture series will highlight one contemporary and one traditional viewpoint, voiced by world class architects, and frame them in international and local perspectives.

I hope I’ll see you there! Remember, if you know about upcoming events or current topics, please email or comment!
