Dalibor Vesely teaches topics in Architectural History and Theory (Meaning and
Modes of Architectural Representation) at PennDesign.
Dalibor Vesely was born in Prague where he studied Architecture and Art History.
He is a Director (Emeritus) of graduate studies in the department of
architecture and member of Emmanuel College at the University of Cambridge.
His interests include the poetics and hermeneutics of architecture and his
research and publications reflect a systematic attempt to restore the humanistic
understanding of architecture. This is reflected in his award-winning
publication Architecture in the Age of Divided Representation (MIT) – winner of
the 2005 CICA Bruno Zevi Book Award presented by the International Committee of
Architectural Critics.
