Banham in Buffalo: 5 Years of the Peter Reyner Banham Fellowship at the University at Buffalo Department of Architecture

by Brian Tabot, Eva Franch Gilabert, Jonathan Solomon, et al.

Peter Reyner Banham, the renowned architectural historian and cultural critic, taught in the newly-founded architecture program at the State University of New York at Buffalo between 1976 and 1980. During his tenure at Buffalo, inspired by the daylight factories and the grain silos of the region, he conducted research that led to his seminal book, A CONCRETE ATLANTIS, illuminating the relationship between American industrial buildings and European Modern Architecture. The Peter Reyner Banham Fellowship program at Buffalo was established in 2000 to celebrate Banham's legacy at Buffalo, and, most importantly, to project new work that is inspired by Banham's foundational body of scholarship on material and visual culture. Each year, the Banham Fellow engages the students and the faculty of the department through research, creative activity, and teaching, and presents that body of work through an exhibition and a lecture.
