Goldsmith Talks: The Unseen Scene

Presented by Shiva Jabarnia,  MArch II, Urban Design 2016. Ms. Jabarnia has an undergraduate degree in Architecture from Iran.

This event will briefly cover the past, present and contemporary architecture from Iran. It will start with some of the social aspects and the average lifestyle of people, then address what made classic architecture in Iran unique and how the urban/public spaces were shaped. The second half will highlight urban projects and buildings from the past 50 to 20 years. While the emphasis will be on public spaces, specific architectural projects and details will be included for context.

Goldsmith Talks is an open-format series of presentations organized by UTSOA faculty, staff, and students. the series aims to encourage and promote presentations that are outside of the scope of the main lecture series. Examples are: invited seminar presentations, book talks, lectures by designers and scholars who may be in Austin for another engagement, round-table discussions, film screenings, product demonstrations, or any other activity related to research, scholarship, and teaching activities and at the school. The format provides a platform for encouraging the dissemination of work by visitors and members of our community. The goal is to raise awareness, increase access, and better integrate such events within the public life of the school.
