Architecture Lecture Series: Ricky Burdett

Professor of Urban Studies at the London School of Economics Ricky Burdett lectures Pratt architecture students on urbanism. Trained as an architect at the Bartlett, Burdett sheds light on the latest developments regarding cities and their relationship with architecture. Burdett explains some of the ideas and conclusions coming out of his work within the London School of Economics and the Venice Architecture Biennale. The lecture is focused on a macroscale view of the city rather than the microscale of architectural building. Burdett provides an historical overview of the city before focusing on his hometown, London.
