Dr Andrea Canclini and Professor Richard Brook from the School of Architecture have convened a symposium titled 'END: Architecture and Philosophy Face to Face’ on Friday, 9 February, in collaboration with the bi-annual periodical Khorein. Khorein is a journal that strives to deepen the dialogue between architecture and philosophy, even erase or transcend the boundary between the two disciplines.

The symposium is on the occasion of the launch of its latest issue; we will have as guests in person its editors-in-chief Petar Bojanic and Snezana Vesnic, and online the guest director of the next issue, Peter Eisenman.

The journal has already been presented as part of a talk at Harvard GSD in November and will be presented at the TU Berlin on 26 January and at the AA in London with Kenneth Frampton on 12 February, followed by Milan, Venice and Paris. We are pleased to welcome Petar and Snezana to Lancaster.

The day will be structured into two sessions, chaired by Richard and Deyan Sudjic. In the morning, we will have contributions from Peg Rawes, Director of Research at Bartlett, London architect Charlotte Skene Catling and Joseph Bedford, critic and historian at Virginia Tech. In the afternoon, we will continue with an introductory talk by Andrea, and Petar and Snezana will introduce Peter Eisenman, who will join us online from his New York office; Stelios Giamarelos, historian of modern architecture at the Bartlett, will be our discussant.

Please see the attached poster for full details. The in-person event has a limited capacity of 77 and you may register here. Please only register if you fully intend to attend.
