Postmodern debates and contemporary positions show how narratives and stylistic questions shape our cities.

Those who experience architecture as a language art hear proportions, light, and materials almost resonating. In this author encounter with architectural history, sensual impressions arise: a calm voice, pointed examples, and vivid analyses of works.

Architecture thrives on the dialogue between construction and beauty. The evening highlights load-bearing structures and typologies as well as ornamentation, spatial sequences, and atmosphere.
