A Lager Landscape: The Cultural Economy of Beer in the Southwest - A talk by Paula Lupkin April 19, 2011

Paula Lupkin is a professor of Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis where she is currently working on a project entitled "The Great Southwest: Trade, Territory, and Regional Architecture." In this talk, Dr. Lupkin investigates the web of spaces devoted to the production, distribution, marketing, and consumption of beer as an important regional system that helped to define the cultural and economic relationship between St. Louis and “The Great Southwest.” She is most recently the author of Manhood Factories: YMCA Architecture and the Making of Modern Urban Culture (University of Minnesota Press, 2010). Prof. Lupkin's visit is organized by the Design, Architecture, and Culture group of Quadrant.
