Sophie Eberhardt: Cultural transfers and National discourses
ARCHIP presents Building capitals in Europe in the 19th century: Cultural transfers and National discourses by Sophie Eberhardt. Friday 8. April 2016 at 4 p.m., Františka Křižíka 1, Prague.
No century was more decisive than the 19th century for the emergence and expansion of European capitals. Major geopolitical changes, economic growth and population increase led to the unprecedented development of modern metropolis as symbols of national grandeur and prestige. This lecture will concentrate on cultural transfers in urban planning and architecture and national discourses that contributed to the modelling of European capitals in Europe in the 19th century. It aims at considering impulses but also conflicts that shaped cities such as London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna and at allowing a better understanding of the metropolitan areas inherited in the 20th century.
Sophie Eberhardt is historian of art and architecture (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), Doctor in Geography and land settlement (Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 / Université de Strasbourg), and professional in World Heritage Management (University College Dublin, Ireland). Sophie Eberhardt had her first work experience in diverse cultural institutions specialised in architecture and heritage in France, notably at the Ministry of Culture, in Spain, Ireland, Luxembourg and Czech Republic. She contributed to the coordination and elaboration of the application file of the Neustadt in Strasbourg (urban extension of the late XIXth and XXth centuries) for World Heritage inscription carried out by the City authorities and the State institution (2011/14). Her research mainly focus on history and theory of architecture, urbanism and heritage of the XIXth and XXth centuries and the reception of built environment.
