IN PERSON | Reflections on the Limits of Architecture: Critical Regionalism Revisited

Kenneth Frampton is an architect, critic, historian, and previously Ware Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University (1972-2021). His most important works include Modern Architecture: A Critical History (Thames & Hudson, 1980; 5th edition 2020), Studies in Tectonic Culture: The Poetics of Construction in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Architecture (MIT Press, 1995), and The Other Modern Movement (Yale University Press,2021).

Frampton will reflect on the historical and theoretical entanglements of architecture with place, the public realm, cultural identity, urban landscape and the environment, as well as on the question of “predicament” of architecture in the neo-liberal, capitalist world since the 1980s and well into the new Millennium.

Speaker

Kenneth B. Frampton, CBE

Organization

Kenneth B. Frampton (born 1930) is one of the most widely published and

cited, critically acclaimed, and awarded architectural theorists,

historians, critics, and educators. Frampton practiced as a professional

architect in the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United States. His most

notable buildings include the Corringham Building (1960–1962) in

Bayswater, London, designed while he worked with Douglas Stephen and

Partners; and the Marcus Garvey Village built in Brooklyn, New York

(1973–1976), a highly acclaimed design (in collaboration with Arthur

Baker, Anthony Pangaro, and Michael Kirkland) seen at that time as a

model for low-rise, high-density urban housing in the United States.

Frampton is a founding editor of Oppositions (1973-1984) and the author

of several hundred essays, seminars and lectures, with critical writings

spanning almost 60 years. He is also the author of over twenty books,

many in multiple editions and translated into several languages. They

include the seminal Modern Architecture: A Critical History (Thames and

Hudson, 1980), “Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an

Architecture of Resistance” (1983), Studies in Tectonic Culture: The

Poetics of Construction in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Architecture

(MIT Press, 1995), and The Other Modern Movement: Architecture,

1920–1970 (Yale University Press, 2022).

Awarded, highly admired, and treasured as an educator, Frampton taught

at Princeton University from 1966 to 1972, and at Columbia University

from 1972 until his retirement in 2020. He also held visiting

professorships in over thirty schools of architecture across the world,

including the Royal College of Art in London, United Kingdom; the

Berlage Institute in Amsterdam/Rotterdam, the Netherlands; and École

Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Accademia di Architettura di

Mendrisio (AAM), and the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH)

Zürich, in Switzerland.

Amongst other distinguished honors, Frampton was presented with a

Lifetime Achievement Award by the Society of Architectural Historians in

2018, and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement of the 16th

International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in 2018.
