Jarrett Ley

Current Columbia GSAPP student Jarrett Ley speaks with Zeynep Çelik Alexander, who taught the course "Questions in Architectural History" at GSAPP in the Fall of 2016 and delivered the school's 2017 Detlef Mertens Lecture on the History of Modernity. Alexander is an associate professor at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto. In this podcast, she discusses her ongoing research on the history of modern architecture since the Enlightenment and the meaning of "Gestaltung", the need for developing new language suitable for contemporary practice, and the role of architecture schools within the context of research universities.   “We haven’t yet developed the language with which to understand the world that we live in.”  –Zeynep Çelik Alexander
