Transfer and Metamorphosis Conference, Zurich, June 2008:
Program Published and Registration Opened

European Architectural History Network Joint International Conference with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (ETH) and the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) 26 June – 29 June 2008.

The program for the EAHN's first joint international conference, Transfer and Metamorphosis: Architectural Modernity Between Europe and the Americas 1870-1970, has now been published. The conference features twenty-eight papers in six sessions, with speakers coming from a wide variety of countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Three keynote addresses will bring all conference participants together to examine major themes, while the working sessions are organized in three groups of two parallel sessions each. Three optional excursions—to modern and contemporary architecture in Zurich and Basel, as well as to Le Corbusier’s early works in La Chaux-de-Fonds—round out the program. The EAHN will host an information session at the conference on Friday, 27 June, from 16:30-17:30. EAHN committee members will update conference participants about the organization’s latest projects and answer questions. Conference participants are cordially invited to offer their ideas and input for the Network at this session.

Those interested in attending the conference are urged to register early and, in particular, to book their hotel accommodations as soon as possible, since the conference coincides with the European Football Championship (UEFA Euro 2008) being held in Zurich this summer.
