- Abstract
An essay is presented on how British educator and critic Colin Rowe attempted to engage with history while liberating innovation when he taught architectural history and practice at the University of Texas in Austin in the 1950s. It cites his training and historiography, the major themes in his teaching, and his didactic and ambichronous teaching practice. It also mentions his exchange with Louis Kahn and his design for a Jewish Community Center and analyzes his 1956 essay "Chicago Frame."
