Built upon Love:
Architectural Longing after Ethics and Aesthetics
Wednesday, April 4, 2007, 6:30 PM
Kane Hall 210
Dr. Alberto Pérez-Gómez, MRAIC is Saidye Rosner Bronfman Professor of the History of Architecture and Director of the Post-professional Graduate Programs at McGill University, Montreal.
His lecture "Built upon Love: Architectural Longing after Ethics and Aesthetics" is a philosophical meditation about the connections between beauty and justice, ethics and poetics in architecture, both in practice and education. He will try to show how the assumed opposition between a quest for beauty and that for the common good is a false presumption. This application of theory is urgent in view of our complex political environment and the prevailing obsession with digital tools at the expense of serious thinking.
