The second of two lectures by critic in architecture, Prof. Kyle Dugdale (Yale and Columbia). It is a commonplace of urban history to assert that the cities of antiquity belonged to their gods, and that those gods belonged to their cities. Athens belonged to Athena, and Athena to Athens, just as Babylon belonged to Marduk, and Marduk to Babylon. The city’s architecture reinforced those claims. But what of the modern city? Who are its tutelary deities, and where are its temples? In this two-part lecture series, Kyle Dugdale (Columbia and Yale) will explore how a city’s architecture reflects and shapes its ultimate concerns, setting the familiar realities of our contemporary urban environment against the backdrop of a longer historical narrative. Unfortunately we cannot publish Prof. Dugdale’s slides due to image copyrights, and we apologize for the poor audio quality.
