Curious Minds - Designing the World: The Global Starchitects

Last winter, Peter Harris wowed Curious Minds audiences with Starchitects, a popular series examining the groundbreaking architects who built modern America. This winter, he returns to offer a globe-trotting survey of the international architecture stars who have left their mark on design capitals around the world. From the trailblazing visionaries Eileen Gray and Zaha Hadid to the landscape architects who have reshaped famous neighbourhoods in Paris, New York, Beijing and Toronto, this will be a rollicking journey through the greatest architecture -- and architectural minds -- of the modern age. It will cover brand new material that will delight both course alums and newcomers alike, and use the world’s architectural wonders to help us see the buildings and streets around us with a new sense of perspective.

This course will be led by Peter Harris, the former Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science of the University of Toronto. He previously helmed the popular Curious Minds series Starchitects and By Design: A History of Design Movements in the 19th and 20th centuries.
