Pippo CIORRA, Architect, MAXXI, Rome; William MENKING, Moderator and Professor at Pratt; Frederick BIEHLE, Professor at Pratt and Director of Pratt in Rome; Alicia IMPERIALE, Professor at Temple University; Mark RAKATANSKY, Professor at Pratt

The ancient language of Rome ties into the School’s semester long concentration on Latin Architecture. With a panel including Rome’s Pippo Ciorra, the debate of how centuries old architecture continues to inform the work of contemporary descendents will give new perspectives on old buildings and new structures alike.
