There is a growing dissonance between the urban university as often perceived—its physical, architectural, and emblematic form, its legacy structures and spaces, its time-honoured functions and traditions—and the university as a knowledge factory within the city, subject to political, commercial, and environmental pressures. But this is not a new dissonance. Architectural and design histories can uncover how such dissonances have often shaped the urban university.

This three-day conference, hosted by the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Trinity College Dublin, will therefore debate the architectural and design histories of urban universities through their buildings in correlation to changes in urban planning and design, materials and resources, professions and trades, the methods and media of pedagogy, the design of curricula, and sources of funding and investment.
