The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture.

The book «The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture.» was presented at Circo de Ideias with a conversation between Julia Albani, Joaquim Moreno and Ben Highmore.

The book, published by the Canadian Center for Architecture with the Jap Sam Books and edited by Joaquim Moreno, examines a key experiment by the Open University to mobilize new media environments for distance and adult education.

Eight episodes written by Joaquim Moreno, conversations with Tim Benton, Nick Levinson, Adrian Forty, Joseph Rykwert, and Stephen Bayley, and contributions by Nick Beech, Laura Carter, Ben Highmore, and Joseph Bedford, offer a close reading of the course “A305: History of Architecture and Design, 1890-1939”, which was taught through television and radio broadcasts, aired on the BBC between 1975 and 1982 by the Open University, based in Milton Keynes, in the United Kingdom.
