The final lecture of the Clarence Ward series is upon us! Salomon Frausto, of The Berlage Institute in Rotterdam, will be here to discuss a unique, landmark project–a global survey of architectural and urbanist activity of all kinds–that will appear in print and on-line this year. He is also the editor of one of the most widely read and exciting architectural journals around, Hunch, and an all-around architectural discourse machine! I hope that you’ll be able to join us for what is sure to be an exciting lecture and discussion!
