Victor Deupi is a Lecturer at the University of Miami School of Architecture where he teaches history and theory, design, and representation. The principal focus of his research is on the art and architecture of the Early Modern Ibero-American world, and mid-20th-century Cuba. His books include Architectural Temperance: Spain and Rome, 1700-1759 (Routledge 2015), Transformations in Classical Architecture: New Directions in Research and Practice (Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers, 2018), Cuban Modernism: Mid-Century Architecture 1940-1975, with Jean-Francois Lejeune (Birkhäuser Verlag, 2019), The Modern Stable, with Oscar Riera Ojeda (Rizzoli, 2019), and Emilio Sanchez in New York and Latin America (Routledge, 2020). Dr. Deupi was also the President of the CINTAS Foundation dedicated to promoting Cuban art and culture from 2016-2018. This lecture and workshop will focus on understanding how classical architecture can evolve through new paradigms of research and practice, understanding various strains of contemporary classicism, the ability to distinguish between orthodox and heterodox methodologies and the ability to see classicism within the larger panorama of contemporary architecture.
