Alexandros Kallegias (AADRL MArch 2011) will deliver a lecture at Oxford Brookes University as part of the Reconstruction lecture series organised by OxArch.

Kallegias will be showcasing the work of the AA Visiting School Athens: Every major city is distinguished by its own unique built environment. Whether in terms of cultural significance or technological achievements, the urban fabric of various vital locations allows for a more specialised and genuine set of design qualities. Observed through time, the city’s transformation resembles the growth of a species and its’ personality is reflected on its’ edifices. In the era of information, the data of social activity, historic and contemporary events, urban morphology and more, extracted from a city can reveal insights leading to the emergence of its’ complex network topologies. How does one then picture clusters of information as they fluctuate? How do they look like?

The lecture will take place Tuesday 5 February at Oxford Brookes University. Find out more on the OxArch Facebook Page
