Public Symposium: Australasia & the Global Turn in Architectural History Symposium

Melbourne School of Design Masson Rd, University of Melbourne, VIC, Australia

One of the latest additions to the field, the new edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s rebranded as Global History of Architecture (2019), is proof of the continuous scholarly interest in reframing the global.
