Architecture Lecture: Edward Ford
Event Date: Feb 22, 2021; Event City: Architect and author Edward Ford (BA71, MArch72) will deliver an online lecture titled Outside the Frame: Carlo Scarpa and Sverre Fehn. Ford is currently the Fay Jones Visiting Professor at the University of Arkansas. The lecture is presented with support from the Eugene J. Mackey Jr. Fund. Edward Ford is the author of the two volumes of The Details of Modern Architecture (MIT, 1990, 1996; German edition: 1994, Japanese Edition: 2016). The New York Review of Books called it, “an exceptional book,” and Kenneth Frampton wrote that it was “An indispensable work for all those involved with the tectonics of the discipline.” It has become a standard reference and text in both history and architecture courses in most universities around the world. In 2011 Barry Bergdoll, curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art, named The Details of Modern Architecture to a list of “Books Every Architect Should Read.” In 2011 Ford published The Architectural Detail (Princeton Architectural Press, Chinese Edition 2016), which Designers and Books named as one of the notable books of the year. He has written four book introductions and has contributed articles to Architectural Design, L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui, eAV, Detail, Harvard Design Magazine, The Oxford American, Places, and Perspecta. He was a consultant to the 1992 American Heritage Dictionary, a contributor to A Companion to Twentieth Century Architecture (Wiley 2018), and is on the editorial board of Architectural Graphic Standards.
