Duncan Stroik, Guest Lecturer
It is a rule of Classical architecture that the façade always expresses the interior. Or does it? What can we learn about conventional principles by studying actual built masterpieces? We will focus on two beloved American buildings by McKim, Mead, & White: the University Club in New York City and the Boston Public Library.
