Stories to Tell: Elemental Form, Allegory, and Cultural Well-Being
Three Sessions on Wednesdays:
November 5th, 12th & 19th
6:30 – 8:30 pm
Arthur Ross Award recipient Alvin Holm will lead a series of talks focusing on the cultural significance of narrative, allegory and symbolism.
Mr. Holm, who first practiced architecture under the modernist tutelage of Joseph Albers, will consider Modernism’s rapid post-war ascendancy, its major impact on the national landscape and its societal underpinnings. In comparison he will frame the current grass-roots ideological and interdisciplinary shift towards classicism as a populist and expressive yearning for simplicity and comprehensible universals.
Cost: $210 ($190 members, $170 students and interns)
