Architecture hosts ACSA conference

The School of Architecture and Planning will host the northeast regional meeting and conference of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), to be held Oct. 3-7 in the Buffalo Hilton.

The conference is titled "Triangulating the Bodies of Architecture" in keeping with the theme of UB's Oct. 3 Sesquicentennial Colloquium "Does the Body Matter?" which has been incorporated into its program.

ACSA papers and discussions will explore architecture's complex overlay of theory, research and "making" as the basis of critical investigations of the human body in terms of scale, presence, kinesthetics and tactility to immateriality and disappearance.

Speakers will include architectural scholar and author Sanford Kwinter, Clarkson Visiting Chair in the UB School of Architecture and Planning, and architectural historian and urban geographer Paul Groth.

Call 829-3485 for more information.
