Description
CUHK School of Architecture is presenting the Kinoshita Lecture series with Eric Parry on March 25, 2021.
From skylines to materials the kit-of-parts globalization of cities dulls the spirit of creativity and social intercourse that represent a vibrant society. Likewise, the character of public space is determined through the uses of the buildings that define it and therefore good civic planning should begin by considering the narrative and proximity of these uses. Eric Parry will illustrate through precedents and projects designs in formal and informal juxtapositions to create the ground for more communicative civic space.
Please RSVP by March 23, 2021. Kindly use your real name for registration and add your AIA membership number after your last name.
