Tomorrow's webinar will be a really great insight on glass. While the presentation title indicates mordernist architecture, it really is applicable to all glass! Modernist architecture is when we start to see really large format glass, which is heavily utilized in today's architecture.

Yesterday, invited by my former student at the School of Architecture and Environmental Studies of Universidad del Diseño, and colleague Vicky Adis, I lectured at the School of Architecture of Universidad Latina. The topic of the talk was "Architecture Here and Now. Theoretical-Critical-Ethical Architectural Thinking," with yet another subtitle: "How should we think and make architecture in Costa Rica?"

Tomorrow, 6:30pm. Join us for a lecture from Architecture by Peter Trummer. Trummer, a professor at the University of Innsbruck, will be speaking about his new book 'The City as a Technical Being: On the Mode of Existence in Architecture,' which centers around the question of how a city affects the mode of existence of all the successively new buildings. https://bit.ly/491TPTt

In exactly one month from now, my book Nelson Goodman and Modern Architecture: A Belated Encounter, will be published by Routledge. In it, I investigate overlooked aspects of both 20th-century architecture and philosophy, and I am particularly honored that it comes with endorsements from heavyweights in architecture, art history, and philosophy, who have kindly read my work. I look forward very much to talking about the book at events in Copenhagen and Aarhus, and beyond, in the months to come. #nelsongoodman #architecturaltheory #architecturalhistory #modernarchitecture #modernism

Part II | The Possibilities of Historical Reinterpretation Part II, encompassing various explorations of issues related to the renovation and restoration, reinterpretation and reconstruction of historic architecture, and through such diverse design research and theoretical depictions, provides examples concerning urban and spatial potentials as well as humanistic and historical reinterpretation possibilities within the realm of contemporary architectural design, aiming to enrich its methodology and vocabulary, ultimately leading to more profound and diversified practices. In this part, the focuses range from central historic urban blocks to contemporary historical urban districts in Guangzhou, and even broader indigenous areas in China, covering examples from the renovation of specific conserved architectural entities, the evolution of historical urban neighborhoods, to the reinterpretation of abstract principles from Chinese traditional architecture, and the further introduction of propositions for the revitalization of representative post-industrial areas in the United States.
