Architecture
Must-See Buildings in Europe In a lavishly illustrated series, look in-depth at the architecture buff's bucket list of buildings or groups of nearby buildings across Europe, complete with directions and the occasional restaurant recommendation. Learn what makes these structures important, why you should care, and what are the intense delights that await the informed visitor. Lectures will also reference other related and nearby buildings that can be seen on the same day or during the same trip. Along the way, receive a cram course in the history of European architecture and gain insight into why these particular buildings inspire such passion in the eyes of the instructor. FRANCIS MORRONE is an architectural historian and writer and the author of eleven books, including, with Robin Lynn, Guide to New York City Urban Landscapes (W.W. Norton, 2013) and, with Henry Hope Reed, The New York Public Library: The Architecture and Decoration of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (W.W. Norton, 2011), as well as architectural guidebooks to Philadelphia and to Brooklyn. He was an art and architecture critic for the New York Sun for six and a half years, and his writings appear in such publications as the Wall Street Journal, the New Criterion, City Journal, and Humanities. He received the Excellence in Teaching Award from NYU School of Professional Studies, and the Landmarks Lion Award of the Historic Districts Council. Travel and Leisure magazine named him one of the 13 best tour guides in the world.
