SUMMARY:12th Annual Leon Levy Lecture: Urbanism and the History of Architectural Restlessness
DTSTART:20181108T230000Z
DTEND:20181109T003000Z
DESCRIPTION:The world’s first cities started only 6,000 years ago\, 
 and in that short amount of time have become the dominant form of huma
 n settlement. Among the many alterations of daily life\, evident in ev
 en the first cities\, was the creation of a purposeful built environme
 nt resulting in distinct patterns of residence\, commerce\, ritual eng
 agement\, transportation\, and entertainment.  Yet one of the most int
 eresting things about urban architecture is its high rate of turnover 
 compared to the conservatism of rural settlements. Through archaeologi
 cal examples from both the Classical world and ancient India\, this le
 cture will explore the implications of the ways in which urban residen
 ts are constantly renewing\, upgrading\, and redefining their place in
  the city through architectural change\, and the way in which architec
 tural restlessness carries forward into the present day of our own urb
 an experiences.
