DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the steel\, brick and ferro-concrete Cam
 bridge built in the late 50s and 60s: the almost invisible ‘Other Cambri
 dge’\, that today is not part of the identity of the city. Cambridge as 
 a city\, indeed as a University\, is commonly linked to a more reassuring 
 model in the English tradition\, compressed between the noble stereotype o
 f King’s chapel and the view from The Backs. Arcadian visions that commu
 nicate calm in the name of the arts and scholarly pursuits. But what of in
 novation? The aim of this talk is to stimulate a debate regarding a contro
 versial period of architecture that is undergoing a suppression of memory 
 and to open up to the wider public the ‘other side’ of Cambridge\, oft
 en unknown and misjudged. Apart from Stirling’s Faculty of History there
  are many interesting buildings unknown to the general public as well as t
 o the international scholarly community. The cues for this task are contai
 ned in the splendid images preserved in the RIBA British Architectural Lib
 rary Photographs Collection that will be analysed during this seminar\, wh
 ich complements the exhibition Cambridge in Concrete. \n
