In an informal setting and in dialogue with experienced and imaginative guests, the Colin Rowe Lectures aim to discuss the role of the image in architecture, particularly the crucial role of architectural photography.
The lectures are considered as an open forum of discussion for architects, photographers, students and the simply curious.
After the lecture, Hélène Binet will be in conversation with Dr Marco Iuliano, University of Liverpool.
This year's lecture forms part of our programming for the 澳门王中王 Photo Festival 2023.
