DESCRIPTION:Beatriz Colomina\nCan Onaner\nThe architecture of Adolf Loos\,
  60 years later \n\nInaugural conference of the "Scholars in transition" 
 2022 series.\nThe lecture will be in english.\n\nSCHOLARS in Transition\n\
 nSCHOLARS in Transition is the EDAR Doctoral Program of Architecture and S
 ciences of the City lecture series. It aims at giving a voice to contempo
 rary scholars who\, within their on-going research activity\, are experie
 ncing a  transition  condition. Their contribution to new\, emerging 
 research topics\, tentative interpretations and unconventional approaches\
 , marks the intersection of their personal research agendas\, the evoluti
 on of their discipline\, the public debate\, and the availability of sour
 ces and data. SCHOLARS in Transition is a of a collective debate on the p
 otential of scientific initiative and\nresponsibility of scholars in the f
 ields of Architecture\, Urbanism\, Regional and Urban Studies.\n\nSCHOLARS
  in Transition #4\n\nContemporary Modernity is the general title of the 20
 22 series that will give us the opportunity to revisit notions\, works\, 
 architects\, and authors of XXth Century Modernism. The debates will focu
 s on the timeless aspiration of 'being modern'\, as it simply means ‘bei
 ng contemporary’ – matching the characteristics of the era you live i
 n. Is today the adjective “modern” an historical category to be refer
 red to a past era? Or\, on the contrary\, do our interpretations echo our
  contemporary concerns about architecture and\, more widely\, our built e
 nvironment? For the launching lecture\, entitled The architecture of Adol
 f Loos\, sixty years later\, we are happy to host Beatriz Colomina and Ca
 n Onaner\, who have contributed\, at two different times\, to renew our a
 pprehension of Adolf Loos architecture\, after the interpretation given by
  Aldo Rossi sixty years ago.\n\nBeatriz Colomina is the Howard Crosby But
 ler Professor of the History of Architecture at Princeton University. She
