January 27, 2014 Church Lecture Series Celebrates 40 Years
Internationally recognized architects and designers will present their work this semester at UT as part of the Church Memorial Lecture Series.
This spring, the series kicks off on Monday, February 3. Free and open to the public, the events provide opportunities to gain insight into the works and ideas in the design disciplines today. The series includes lectures, films and exhibits (see our folding poster).
All activities will be held at the UT Art and Architecture Building, 1715 Volunteer Boulevard. Lectures begin at 5:30 p.m. and films begin at 8:00 p.m. in McCarty Auditorium. The exhibitions will be featured in Gallery 103.
The series was founded in memory of Robert B. Church III, a modernist architect and former dean of the School of Architecture. It has welcomed some of the world’s greatest architects and designers to Knoxville.
Since 2006, the lectures have been broadcast live in an effort to reach the mass public. An archive of this year’s lectures is available online.
The College of Architecture and Design is currently working to remaster and make past lectures, including Kahn’s, available through its YouTube channel and website as an educational resource.
