Michelangelo Sabatino will present a lecture titled “Super Fast vs. Super Slow: The Tale of Two Vernaculars” at 5:30 p.m. today at Hembree Auditorium, Room 107E in the Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences Building, on the University of Arkansas campus, as part of the Fay Jones School of Architecture lecture series.
He will explore the competing ways in which architects throughout the 20th century have appropriated and transformed pre-industrial, industrial, and commercial vernacular building types. He will also discuss how this process of appropriation has lead modern and contemporary architects to rethink the role of rural and urban values within modernity.
