Dr. Hirsh is very knowledgeable and puts the architecture into a socio-political context, which makes it more interesting that just a "oh look at these magnificent buildings" kind of talk. Much appreciated.
Dr. Hirsh was easy to listen to, knowledgeable, well organized delightful who emotes a love of her subject.
I plan to take more of her lectures.. Louis Kahn is one og my favorite architects and I see that Corbusier was his mentor.
Thank you
I m so grateful that Dr. Jennie Hirsh is offering so many different
topics for Context. I enjoy every hour with her, and plan on never missing anything she schedules.
Dr. Hirsh gave a very interesting lecture on Le Corbusier. She was well prepared and gave me much insight into Corbusier and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. I will be looking for her lectures in the future.
