In a lecture hosted by the Glass House, project co-editors Mary McLeod and Victoria Rosner, together with contributor Michael Kubo, will talk about their work on this timely project .

This Bard Graduate Center presentation examines the relationship between Eileen Gray’s distinctive drawing techniques and the spatial qualities of her architecture. It begins with Gray’s sketches for the Galerie Jean Désert in Paris, carried out (most likely with Jean Badovici) in 1922, and extends to her drawings for the houses E 1027 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (1926–29) and Tempe a Pailla outside Castellar (1931–35).

John Arbuckle will be leading a virtual tour of the Marcel Breuer Buildings at Bronx Community College. This event is part of Archtober’s virtual Building of the Day program series.
