Description
Writing in the 19th century, the German architect and critic Gottfried Semper described a new foundation and origin of architecture: textile. For Semper, architecture’s fount was not the mound or post and beam construction, but the woven wall. Describing architecture’s fundament in terms of foldable fabric and the pliable layers of covering, Semper set forth a new paradigm of the medium that was in closer keeping with the then-emergent world of industrial arts and mass-produced objects for the home. This talk by Dr. Charissa Terranova, Assistant Professor of Art History, SMU, brings together the idea of fabric and the fold in order to discuss fashion in contemporary architecture and design.
In the Dr. Bob Smith Auditorium. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
