Episode Description from the Publisher

In today's episode, professor Branko Mitrovic tells us about the battle to teach classical architecture at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. Here, one student prompted Branko to start teaching Classical architecture, which started a movement in the university, a study association. Might this be the beginning of a return of the Classical curriculum at architecture schools? Branko Mitrović is a professor of architectural history and theory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. He has been involved in the classical movement since the late 1980s. Professor Mitrović has PhDs both in Architecture and Philosophy and has been a recipient of research fellowships from the Harvard University, Canadian Centre for Architecture, the Humboldt Foundation, the National Gallery (Washington DC) and the Clark Art Institute. He is the author of eleven books and has received the Humboldt Research Award for his work in architectural history.--======JOIN OUR ACADEMY: https://theaestheticcity.com/academy/Join the #1 email list about making better places:https://the-aesthetic-city.kit.com/signup======For more information on The Aesthetic City, find our website on https://theaestheticcity.com/Work with Ruben:https://aestheticcity.consulting Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the_aesthetic_city Follow us on X: https://x.com/_Aesthetic_City Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.aesthetic.city/ Substack: https://theaestheticcity.substack.com/
