2021 Vincent Scully Masterclass Series: See Like an Architect

Three masterful, entertaining explorations of an architecture-informed worldview continue this series inspired by legendary professor, critic and author Vincent Joseph Scully, Jr. (1920−2017), who made his mark through more than 60 years of leading lectures at Yale University, inspiring countless students to pursue a wide variety of career paths. Even those with little to no interest in architecture were drawn to Scully’s courses, as he made learning about the built environment accessible, intoxicating and vital for everyone in the room.

See Like an Architect 02: Rhythm, Texture, Pattern -- Chicago’s celebrated avenues and boulevards offers a masterclass in rhythm and repetition.
