Rupturing the Surface of the Known

Just as characters in “The Namesake” were caught between the conflicting cultures of India and America, this talk will examine the reverse: how UVA architecture students going from America to India were inspired by the cultural differences they experienced. Using images and words, the presentation will examine the value of travel in this global age. Phoebe Crisman is Associate Professor of Architecture University of Virginia School of Architecture.
