Using one of his most famous concepts, namely the idea of the “non-place”, in this lecture Professor Augé will examine concepts such as globalisation, urbanisation, city-world and world-city. In doing this he will draw up an opposition between the "system"
and "history" to argue that great architecture today is an expression of the system that participates in a contemporary aesthetic characterized by a sense of distance. Professor Augé will conclude by suggesting, provocatively, that the very idea of world architecture
alludes to a global society that does not exist and is thus a reproduction, in reverse, of the relationship expressed by the sight of the ruins of the past. Given this, it may be that we are condemned to find beauty in non-places.</p>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Professor Marc Augé </strong>is one of France’s leading intellectuals. His work has revolutionized his primary discipline of anthropology and serves as
a key point of reference for work inside and outside of this field. He is the author of dozens of books including <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Non-Places: An Introduction to an Anthropology
of Supermodernity</i>, <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In the Metro</i> and <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">L’Expérience
des images </i>(with Umberto Eco and Georges Didi-Huberman). In 2008 the journal<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">L’Homme </i>dedicated an entire edition to his work. Having studied at the
École Normale Supérieure, Augé spent much of his career at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales where he served as President and taught many leading seminars.</div>
