Society for Architecture Historians Annual Meeting: Pittsburgh's Diverse Expressions
April 11-15, 2007 |
Pittsburgh celebrates its history of diversity with a ring of “nationality classrooms” in the base of its “Cathedral of Learning” (Charles Z. Klauder, 1937). This session invites papers that address the contribution of waves of immigration that created Pittsburgh’s diversity of architectural cultures. Papers are invited on the creation of the nationality rooms themselves as well as on types of religious buildings that express the different creeds in ethnic neighborhoods that ebbed and flowed as the city grew. Inspired by the diversity of Pittsburgh’s heritage, the session will also consider papers about one of the many architects who have brought their individual and diverse approaches to Pittsburgh.
