8 May 2012 • Off-campus Event

Professor Richard Schneider, visiting professor of Liturgical Arts at St. Vladimir's, will deliver a free and public lecture titled "Armenian Architecture: Local Culture or World Architecture?" on Tuesday, May 8th at 7:30 p.m. at nearby St. Nersess Armenian Seminary, 150 Stratton Road, New Rochelle, New York.

Professor Schneider will discuss whether Armenian church architecture typified the building style of a regional single culture or many cultures (e.g., Armenian, Byzantine, Syrian), all of which led to the development of the "Middle Byzantine" design that today is thought to characterize the "model" Orthodox church building.
