Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America - Leon Krier - The Architecture of Community

The Architecture of Community Leon Krier Leon Krier is one of the best known and most provocative architects and urban theoreticians in the world, and a leading influence on today's generation of classical and traditional architects and planners. In The Architecture of Community, Mr. Krier refines and distills forty years of thinking on the making of sustainable, humane, and attractive villages, towns, and cities, and shares thoughts on how to make today's communities more vibrant. The book includes drawings, diagrams, and photographs of his built works, which have not been widely seen until now. This is a unique opportunity to hear and meet Mr. Krier at his only appearance in Philadelphia, and it promises to be a lively evening.

Deborah Willis A graduate of the Philadelphia College of Art, Deborah Willis--a 2005 Guggenheim Fellow and a 2000 MacArthur Fellow--chairs the Photography Department at New York University. Dedicated to sharing visual representations of the African American experience, Willis authored the groundbreaking and highly praised book Reflections in Black, a collection of photographs of African American life from 1840 to the present, as well as The Black Female Body and VanDerZee: The Portraits of James VanDerZee. Her new book, Posing Beauty, was inspired by a realization she had as a student in the 1970s: that images of black beauty did not exist in the mainstream culture. This arresting new collection of photographs of African Americans, from Billie Holiday to Muhammad Ali to Michele Obama, redefines what it means to be "beautiful."
