"When architects travel..." 3 lectures on architecture and travel Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - Podium Lecture: Wednesday 2 May 2007, 7pm Tickets: Admission free! In the tradition of the Grand Tour, for the culturally aware architect Bernard Rudofsky (1905 – 1988) travelling was a way to study and learn about elementary human needs. Today, too, 20 years after Bernard Rudofsky's travels in India, travelling is still a way for architects to learn while also gaining an indispensable source of inspiration. He began reconnoitring, if not earlier, with his first field trips undertaken as a student. Alongside findings about foreign places, customs and ways of living, the architect's conduct while travelling also has a practical effect on their work. The cultural shift between the metropolises and peripheral regions, a transfer right across the world, is reflected in the work of the globe-trotting architect.
