Adrian Lahoud: Complex Scale
  

Complex Scale: Within architecture the idea of scale has a relatively stable meaning typically referring to size, proportion or some form of spatial regularity. This is contrast to the vigorous reconceptualisation of scale taking place in geographical disciplines, where for the last 30 years scale became one its most contested terms. This seminar will introduce students to key moments within the history of scalar thinking and suggest that scale is one of the most critical intellectual and practical concepts for engaging with complex environments.

May 22 – 10am @ CRA – RHB 312 Goldsmihts Main Building — all welcome
