Lecture summary
This engaging speaker grew up in Chicago’s Cabrini Green public housing complex, nearly became a classical cellist, and was drawn to sociology after sustaining a hand injury.
Richard Sennett brings a unique perspective to the design of buildings and cities.
His groundbreaking books have focused on the relation of the human body to the architecture of the city and how people move through - and use - urban spaces.
