Event Description:

Raj Rewal is internationally recognized for the creation of buildings
that respond with sensitivity to the complex demands of rapid
urbanization, climate, and culture. Earlier in his career, his focus
on low-cost housing led him to design a large number of dwelling
units, fragmented into smaller aggregations enclosing a variety of
spaces for different building types — an experience that led him to
create a series of public projects in a humane manner, for works of
epic proportions. Rewal will discuss his past work in public housing,
the lessons learned from the cities of Rajasthan, Mediterranean
villages, and high-density developments, and how the study of the
existing traditional pattern of living can provide cues for
place-making that can promote community activities.

Pharos of Chaos

Event Date as Display String: Sunday, November 24, 2019, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge URL: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/pharos-of-chaos-2019-11 Event Description: Wolf-Eckart Bühler was at work on a different film about the adventurous, seafaring Sterling Hayden (Der Havarist/The Shipwrecker) when he finally tracked down the man in person to make this frank, fascinating document. Bühler finds the semi-retired actor, war hero, occasional writer and itinerant sailor whiling away his days — frequently drunk or stoned — living on a barge in France. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to his character in Altman's "The Long Goodbye," the wild and weathered old man of the sea and out of time enjoys quoting his favorite literature and telling anecdotes until finally opening up about his alcoholism, his loneliness, his "creative impotency," and his deepest ...

HILR Intersession: Mollie Crawford-Volk: Velazquez' "Las Meninas" and its Modern Progeny

Event Date as Display String: Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 10:00am - 12:00pm Location: HILR, 34 Concord Avenue, Cambridge 02138 URL: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/harvard-events/events-calendar/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D141501611 Event Description: Diego Velazquez' magisterial late work, "Las Meninas," created in 1656 near the end of his life, is universally recognized now as one of the greatest paintings in the history of western culture. Its scale, technical virtuosity, complex subject, and inclusion of the only uncontested self-portrait of the Spanish artist we have contributed decisively to its special stature. But this stature has been enormously enhanced by the number and quality of responses to the painting made by important later artists, a phenomenon that continues up to the present. Very few, if any, paintings in western art have inspired such an illustrious progeny. UID: http://uid.trumba.com/event/141501611 ...
