The Hyde Lecture series will feature Perry Kulper, University of Michigan, in a 4 p.m. Jan. 25 talk in Richards Hall, Room 15.

In the talk, Kulper will use examples from his and student work to explore the roles and capacities of representation, the flexibility that can come from an understanding of diverse design methods, and the need to increase conceptual breadth in architecture. He will discuss other key areas useful in his thinking and design work, including the naming problem, language folds, use of analogous thinking, tailored visualizations and the possibility of working on heterogeneous project ideas.

Kulper is an associate professor of architecture at Michigan. He also spent 17 years as faculty at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and held visiting teaching positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Arizona State University.

His career includes work in the offices of Eisenman/Robertson, Robert A.M. Stern, and Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown.
