PUBLIC HUMANITIES IN ARCHITECTURE - PHILIPP MEU...

Anyone concerned with the history  tradition  and culture of our built environment will sooner
or later come across the term 'Public Humanities'. At the interface between academe and the
media-oriented culture industry  Public Humanities is established as a field of inquiry in the
US and is increasingly becoming so in Europe too. Whether this field of research remains a
product of Western culture will only become apparent in the coming years. However  linking
architectural debate with the humanities is an important concern of the papers collected here.
These essays on architectural theory provide academic food for thought while encouraging
reflection on the discipline of architecture and stimulating urban design in the twenty-first
century. The lectures collected here are from a class on Public Humanities at Brown University.
