So we were scheduled to have a lecture by Bernard Tschumi, a prominent American architect who has been extremely influential in the deconstructivist movement and the idea of pushing boundaries and transgressing accepted limits in architectural theory. He cancelled. This is the second time in five years he has been scheduled to lecture, and the second time in five years he has cancelled. He’s not a hero to me or anything, but he would be an extremely interesting architect to hear live, as I have read quite a bit of his theory, and I was looking forward to the lecture. It’s not everyday the UB School of Architecture and Planning brings in a world-famous lecturer.

He cancelled a 5:00 lecture at 12:45. I guess something more important came up.
