Online Lecture

Crisis? What Crisis? poster image

Many thanks to my former colleague Prof Neil Leach for a second invitation to contribute to the Digital Futures Doctoral Consortium online events programme. This session is the first in a new series entitled “Crisis? What Crisis”, addressing the recent history, current status and future direction of debates in architectural history, theory, philosophy and culture. There are typically two short talks in each session, with an open Q&A and discussion at the end, with the entire programme scheduled to run over the next 24 months, culminating in an edited print publication. This week includes a series introduction and an opening provocation from Neil Leach followed by a response from myself, loosely titled “The Golden Age of Theory Theory”.
