DESCRIPTION:Register now >>  “Architects have always looked back in order t
 o move forward\,” observed the great British architect\, James Stirling.  
 In “Architecture and the Passage of History\,” the well-known writer and a
 rchitecture critic\, Witold Rybczynski\, BArch’66\, MArch’72\, DSc’02\, ex
 plores the intimate but unusual relationship between architects and the pa
 st. He shows how – and especially why – architecture since the Renaissance
  has been characterized by recurring historic revivals. Using examples of 
 work by contemporary Canadian architects\, he demonstrates how even modern
 ist architects cannot avoid connecting with the past\, and why this is a g
 ood thing.  A two-time McGill graduate\, Rybczynski is the author of such 
 celebrated books as Home\, The Most Beautiful House in the World\, and a b
 iography of Frederick Law Olmsted\, A Clearing in the Distance\, for which
  he was awarded the J. Anthony Lukas Prize. In 2007\, he received the Vinc
 ent J. Scully Prize from the National Building Museum. He lives in Philade
 lphia\, where he is professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania. 
  Please join us for the 2013 Beatty Memorial Lecture\, held in collaborati
 on with McGill Homecoming\, the School of Architecture\, and the School of
