This volume is one of a series presenting essays primarily by students
and staff of the graduate program in the history and theory of
architecture at McGill University headed by Alberto Perez-Gomez. Most of
the thoroughly researched essays in Chora 3 address historical topics
such as the writings of architect Siegfried Kracauer and 16th-century
architect Juan Battista Villalpando’s “literary and visual
reconstruction of the temple of Solomon.” Alberto Perez-Gomez is the
Saidye Rosner Bronfman professor of architecture at McGill University,
and Stephen Parcell is an associate professor of architecture at
Dalhousie University.
