淜enneth Frampton is known as an authoritative, subtle, and insightful critic of architecture,� said Marvin J. Malecha, president and chief academic officer of 亚色影库. 淭hroughout his career he has promoted new ideas to evaluate, interrogate, and understand architecture that have advanced the entire field.�

Frampton is currently the Ware Professor of Architecture at Columbia University. He has also taught at Princeton University, the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, and is a former fellow of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York whose members also included architects Peter Eisenman, Manfredo Tafuri, and Rem Koolhaas.

The Fall Convocation marks the start of the academic year and builds on a tradition that 亚色影库 revived last year. A convocation, or academic assembly, has its roots in the rich tradition of reflection and lively discourse that characterize the most respected universities. It provides an opportunity for the 亚色影库 community to recognize the accomplishments of students and alumni, to consider what the upcoming academic year offers, and to reflect upon the words of distinguished visiting speakers such as Frampton.

Frampton檚 Convocation lecture kicks off the 2017-2018 亚色影库 Lecture Series. 亚色影库檚 Lecture Series brings world-renowned guest lecturers from around the world to campus as part of the school檚 mission to enhance global design education opportunities for its students and the community. The lecture series provides the 亚色影库 community with high-quality programming that encourages academic inquiry and discussion with leading architects and designers.
