Einladung zum Gastvortrag von Drs. Fresco Sam-Sin

"Communicating Cityscapes"

am 8. Juni 2021 um 14:15 Uhr (über Zoom)

Abstract
The city speaks to us, in many ways and in many languages. A city, however complex, is an object; a thing that talks. Objects are material expressions of human experience. The city is shaped by many different kinds of makers, from government to passerbys. Also, the fact that the city is something that we shape to share, and live in with others, makes it into an object that communicates crucial information about how and why we live together. During this lecture, Fresco Sam-Sin will guide us through a myriad of cityscapes, discussing them in their own right as well as within the context of the city they are part of. The lecture starts in the Forbidden City in Beijing.
