New Book Display: How Serendipitous?
Exploring Art and Architecture, Culture, Human Connections
Complimenting A Glimpse: Serendipity Across Cultures are select books that draw upon the history and significance of Chinese and American architecture, from traditional gates and hutong alleyways, to the row and townhouses of New York. While architectural details help set context and provide a partial view, literary genres, such as legendary tales, children’s books, and memoirs, lend creative insight into culture and lived experiences. The final section provides a further look at cultural heritage, cross cultural aspirations, and the integration of American and Chinese values and goals in artistic, social, and political landscapes.
How Serendipitous: Exploring Art and Architecture, Culture, Human Connections is curated by Jennifer Govan, Library Director and Senior Librarian, in coordination with artist Yutong Chloe Wu and Soeun Bae, Library Associate for Art and Design.
