The Art of Architecture – 20th Century
Thu 21 Nov 2024, 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Come and explore the history of architecture from its beginnings in the ancient world to the present time. This three lecture overview with James Willis will take you to ancient Egypt and Rome, the French Cathedrals, English Country gardens, modern New York and so much more!
As the modern world expands through international trade and new technology we continue our journey through architecture design. With new ideas in the 20th century a great change begins between traditional and modern thinkers. Find out how this collision of ideas allows architectural design to break free from its origins…or does it?!
