About this Event

Builders invent forms that – with the help of careful site planning by landscape architects, for example – provide new ways of seeing and experiencing architecture. Gardens become small worlds of playful experimentation; bridges take us from one point to another; and cities are erected and razed, constantly changing vistas in the urban setting.

Join Professor Sandy Isenstadt to explore how new perspectives on architecture are revealed by the movement of people using it. Food and beverages will be served.

This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition Architectural Expressions in Stone, Steel and Imagination, on view from September 5 – December 9 in Old College Gallery.

Registration is requested. This event will not be recorded.
