Graphic Novels |
Novel Architecture Symposium
A provocative
forum for conversation among leading architects, scholars and artists, the
Graphic Novels / Novel Architecture symposium will examine the burgeoning
influence of different types of graphic narrative—including animations,
cartoons, comics, illustrations and storyboards—on contemporary architectural
design. Participants will include Vera Camden, Diane Davis-Sikora, Wes
Jones, Jimenez Lai, Françoise Mouly, Alison Sampson, Robert Somol, Mélanie van
der Hoorn, Chris Ware, Michael Webb and Jon Yoder.
Two sessions of
short presentations and roundtable discussions will begin at 1:00 pm, followed
by an illustrated keynote conversation between Françoise Mouly and Chris
Ware at 5:00 pm. Books by symposium participants will be available for purchase
at the CMA Store, and MIX at CMA (art, music, mingling) will follow the
symposium. Please arrive early for seats in Gartner Auditorium! If you’re
unable to attend in person, you can still join us remotely via live feed on the
event website: http://graphic-novel-architecture.com
The symposium is
free and open to the public, but reservations are recommended.
