Notre Dame Professor to Share Vision for Urban Architecture

From Patrick Henry College:
"Cities are best understood as cooperative human artifacts made over time, and the primary purpose of a good city is to promote human flourishing, according to Dr. Philip Bess, Director of Graduate Students and Professor of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame. This Friday at 7:00 p.m., Professor Bess comes to Patrick Henry College to present a compelling vision for architecture in a public lecture entitled, "Traditional Urbanism and Human Flourishing."

This lecture will take place on Friday, March 2, at PHC's Barbara Hodel Center Coffeehouse, and will be webcast live at 7 p.m. ET. It is hosted by the Alexis de Tocqueville Society of Patrick Henry College and is co-sponsored by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. We invite our friends and supporters across the country to join us for this special event. Dr. Bess is the author of Inland Architecture: Subterranean Essays on Moral Order and Formal Order in Chicago and Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Architecture, Urbanism, and the Sacred. To watch our live webcast, go to the PHC webcast page Friday, March 2, at 7:00 p.m. ET. Read more."
