Hutchinson: The Search for Serenity in Chinese & Japanese Architecture

Part of the West’s passion for things Asian is a search for serenity that seems to elude our frantic living pace. Ancient Chinese writers have recorded an idyllic lifestyle that includes a nice cottage, a clean table, a beautiful moon and flowers. But it takes a bit more to live in style. This class will examine the principles and practices underlying traditional Chinese and Japanese architecture and how they encourage graceful living.

Date: Wednesdays: Sept. 16, 23 & 30
Times: 2–4 p.m.
Location: Video Conference:
Shears Technology Center
Justice Theater
Room 210
