Architecture and Humanities: A Panel on Cross-Disciplinary Belonging
How does the humanities 'belong' to architecture today? How does architecture 'belong' to the humanities?
Tuesday 2nd June

College and university students
Local residents
Who gets to 'belong' to architecture? How can the 'humanities' belong to architecture? Is 'belonging' the only goal?
The ‘humanities’ form a network of disciplines, a series of approaches, that frequently intersect with and interpret architecture. Whether analysing the context or sensitivities of a site, providing tools for mediation and critique, or training students in experiential and ethical evaluation, the humanities offer invaluable tools for understanding our built environment. This panel celebrates how the humanities find new ways to ‘belong’ within this complicated terrain, helping architecture connect with our wider cultural world.
