Mark Cousins

Renowned architectural writer, lecturer, and educator Mark Cousins has canceled this lecture for health reasons.

Although his lecture at Ohio State has been canceled for health reasons, you can still sample Cousins's insights into the issues of leaving and returning home in his essay for the Away from Home exhibition catalogue, which is based on his childhood experiences attending an English boarding school.

Trained as an analyst, Cousins was educated at Oxford and the Warburg Institute, and his research and writing often concerns the relation of psychoanalysis to architecture and space. A founding member of the London Consortium, an interscholastic postgraduate program, he is also the director of general studies and head of the graduate program in histories and theories at the Architectural Association in London.

Noted as both a scholar and a raconteur, he has coauthored a book on Michel Foucault, contributed to journals including October and the Harvard Design Magazine, and published a series of articles on "The Ugly," forthcoming in book form.

Cosponsored by the Knowlton School of Architecture.
