Symposium to examine the university’s
role as architectural patron

“Do good buildings make good education?” is one of the questions that will be explored at a symposium titled “Building the Future: The University as Architectural Patron,” to be presented Friday-Saturday, Jan. 25-26 by the Yale School of Architecture.

The symposium will ask practitioners and architectural historians to consider university architecture from a variety of perspectives, including the role of an academic institution as patron and the role of campus building as a venue for generating knowledge.

The keynote speaker will be David Brownlee, the Shapiro-Weitzenfoffer Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. His talk,“Building Education,” which is also the Brendan Gill Lecture, will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. A historian of modern architecture whose interests embrace a wide range of subjects in Europe and America from the late 18th century to the present, Brownlee is co-author of the book “Louis I. Kahn: In the Real of Architecture.” Kahn designed both the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art.

On Saturday, there will be three panel discussions: “Do Good Buildings Make Good Education?” at 9:45 a.m., and “Campus or Museum: The University as Architectural Patron” and “The Future of Architecture in Education,” both at 1:30 p.m.

The symposium, which is free and open to the public, will take place in the Robert J. McNeill Hall of the Yale University Art Gallery (entrance on High Street).

The event is supported by the Office of the President and the Brendan Gill Lectureship Fund, and organized by the Department of the History of Art and the School of Architecture.
