Spring 2023 Herman J. Albrecht Library of Historical Architecture Open house

The Herman J. Albrecht Library of Historical Architecture invites students, faculty, and staff to attend its Spring 2023 Albrecht Open House. Guests are invited to a rare viewing of the following texts.

“We chose these texts for the open house because they cover a sampling of the multi-cultural architectural history that the collection contains,” said Albrecht Graduate Research Associate Noël Michel.

“We wanted to highlight key non-western texts that influenced the design discipline,” added Neda Nezhad, who also serves as an Albrecht Graduate Research Associate. “Other texts were chosen in tandem with relevant topics being taught in courses at Knowlton as well as their substantial visual qualities of drawings and graphics.”
