DESCRIPTION:The next event organised by the Public & Popular History semin
 ar is a panel debate\, "Architectural Heritage or Awful Houses?"\, this We
 dnesday\, 7 November\, at 5pm\, in the Knox Shaw Room in Sidney Sussex Col
 lege. The two panellists are Owen Hatherley\, journalist and author of 'Mi
 litant Modernism' (2009) and 'A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain' (
 2010)\; and Prof Andrew Saint\, architectural historian and editor of the 
 Survey of London (English Heritage)\; the debate will be chaired by Prof P
 eter Mandler\, author of 'The Fall and Rise of the Stately Home' (1997) an
 d President-Elect of the Royal Historical Society. They will be discussing
  whether we should treat postwar architecture that contemporaries hate(d) 
 as useful heritage in the same way that we treat earlier periods of archit
 ecture that contemporaries loved. Lurking underneath this question is the 
 struggle over the politics of heritage: who decides\, & on which grounds\,
  what to preserve of our physical environment. It promises to be a lively 
 debate\, around images of some rather spectacular/controversial buildings.
  Everybody very welcome! For more information\, please contact Dr Bernhard
  Fulda (bdf20@cam.ac.uk).
