Description

As an architectural historian, Lydia Brandt is trained to read the world around her, which at USC means understanding the context of the campus' buildings — why they were built in a certain style, why they were named for particular individuals and how the institution defines its identity through its physical space. Today's conversation with Dr. Brandt touches on those ideas and the university's recent efforts to tell a larger story of its past through figurative monuments.
