The digital lecture series on the global history of architecture seeks to reposition narratives in architectural and urban historiography previously centered on Europe and the United States. It does not aim at providing the equivalent to a textbook on the universal history of world architecture, but will instead focus on flows of knowledge (ideas, conceptual designs, models etc.) and people, media and technology. In weekly lectures renowned experts from Los Angeles to Hong Kong will join us to discuss their recent scholarship dealing with the entanglements that have shaped architectures and cities during the 19th and 20th centuries.
