Architectural Theory Review vol 27. no. 2. Untimely Teachers: Recovering Postmodernism's Anachronic Pedagogies
This issue of Architectural Theory Review invites contributions that investigate anachronic pedagogical experiments, the untimeliness of which is less concerned with the aesthetic shock of the old as provoked by the 1975 MoMA exhibition "The Architecture of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts," and more with imaginary didactic dialogues staged around the work of neglected luminaries.
