Starting Wednesday, the School of Architecture & Allied Arts will present a six-part lecture series focusing on how conflict and war are presented in museums and memorials.
“Cities in War, Struggle and Peace: The Architecture of Memory and Life” will deal with the question of memory and how museums and memorials use everyday artifacts to demonstrate the horror of war, according to a news release.
Each of the free public lectures, which run every Wednesday until Feb. 21, will begin at 7 p.m. in 150 Columbia.
The first lecture is titled “From Lexington and Concord to 9-11: The Memorial Landscape of Violence,” by Edward Linenthal, a professor of American history at Indiana University. He currently serves on the federal advisory commission for the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Penn., according to the release. For more information, contact the Department of Architecture at (541) 346-3656.
