Their accomplishments in many ways transformed Penn's 'Greene Country Towne' with the addition of monumental structures and spaces rivaling those found in European capitals. Their interventions challenged the Center City grid and drew nature into its streets in ways new to Philadelphia. This presentation by Professor Daniel E. Coslett will focus on the City Hall–Logan Square–Parkway–Art Museum axis, highlighting formal and functional correlations between Paris and Philadelphia française. Speaker [Daniel E. Coslett](https:\/\/drexel.edu\/westphal\/about\/directory\/CoslettDaniel\/), Ph.D. is a scholar of architectural and urban history. His interests center on the place of historical built environments within contemporary cities. A native of southeast Pennsylvania, Coslett studied political science and classics at Davidson College, and the history of architecture and urban development at Cornell University. He then received an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in the built environment (history, theory, and representation studies) from the University of Washington. He joined the faculty at Drexel University in 2022, having previously taught at Western Washington University in the Department of Art & Art History. At the University of Washington in Seattle, Coslett offered courses on architectural history and theory, global built environments, and historic preservation for the Departments of Architecture, Urban Design and Planning, and the College of Built Environments.

Through exhibitions, conversations, partnerships, film, art, food, and other cultural programs, the initiative aims to celebrate difference, amplify underrepresented voices, build connections, and create a greater sense of belonging within the architectural community.

She says : \"Taking my out-of-country guests around Philadelphia over many years made me curious and excited about its rich history and culture. When I retired, I turned to tour guiding to continue my passion for researching, developing, and sharing the stories that The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection has to offer. Before doing independent tours, I was a docent at the Penn Museum and a guide with the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. I currently offer regular tours of Philadelphia City Hall, of Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion, and of Hope Lodge Mansion. I am a long-time member of the Philadelphia Association of Tour Guides as well as of the Alliance Francaise.\" Elise grew up in Egypt speaking French, English, and Arabic. Later, she lived in Israel and learned Hebrew. In Mexico, she learned some Spanish. Elise has maintained her love of languages through adult education courses, reading, movies, travels, and speaking, at every opportunity throughout her many years in Philadelphia. ## Event Information Date : Saturday, May 8, 2027Time : 1:30-3:00pmLocation : Independence Visitor Center at 6th and Market Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19106Language : Bilingual, French (required level B1 minimum), EnglishCost : $15 for Members \/ $20 for non Members## Not a member yet?[Purchase a membership](https:\/\/www.afphila.com\/membership-and-support\/membership\/) today!", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": null, "product_brand_id": "1", "product_price": "20.0000", "product_price_ex_tax": 20, "product_price_local_tax": "20.0000", "product_created_datetime": "2026-08-19 18:36:57", "product_code": null, "product_barcode": null, "product_is_unorderable": "0", "product_is_shipping_required": "0", "product_inventory_level": "10", "product_uri": "\/products\/af-the-french-influence-in-philadelphia-from-old-city-to-rittenhouse-square\/" }, { "product_id": "3258", "product_title": "Dynamic and restorative Yoga (in French) 11\/04", "product_content": "### # Join our 8-Week Yoga Program (Sessions in French) ## September 16, 23, 30 ; October 7, 14, 21, 28 ; November 4 ### This 8-week online yoga series is designed to help you build strength, increase flexibility, and restore balance in both body and mind.

À vos stylos ! Participate in our French dictée, a unique opportunity to put your language skills to the test and challenge your knowledge of the French language. \"What is dictée?\" you may ask. A dictée is a kind of French exam that tests your listening, spelling, and grammar skills. During a dictée, a speaker reads a text while the participants listen and transcribe what they hear. The goal is to write the most accurate transcription of the text! Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, this experience is open to all who wish to improve their grammar, vocabulary, and spelling in French. After the event, participants will submit their work via email to be checked and corrected. A prize will be awarded for the best dictation! The event will be composed of two sessions: one beginner-friendly and the other for advanced participants. Each session will last 30 minutes. The beginner-level session will begin at 5:30pm, and the advanced-level session will begin at 6:00pm. The text for both sessions comes from 'Veiller sur elle' by Jean-Baptiste Andrea , and in each session, there will be three readings of the text. First reading: a general reading of the text so that participants can hear the text in its entirety.Second reading: a slow reading of the text, during which participants will copy down the dictation as they hear it. Typically, sentences and paragraphs are read at least twice. Third reading: another complete general reading of the text so that participants can check their work and correct any mistakes, forgotten words, or punctuation marks. Book summary:Italie, 1986. Michelangelo Vitaliani, dit Mimo, est un vieil homme mourant, retiré dans un monastère. Ancien sculpteur, il « veille sur elle », sa dernière statue. Celle-ci a suscité l'émoi lorsqu'elle était exposée au public. Maintenant protégée, presque cachée, elle a provoqué des sentiments mélangés, parfois indescriptibles, de malaise ou d'excitation, et tous les observateurs s'accordent : personne ne sort indifférent de sa rencontre avec la statue, sans qu'il soit possible d'en expliquer la raison. Mimo replonge alors dans ses souvenirs, et livre l'histoire de sa vie.Disponible sur [Amazon](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=veiller+sur+elle+jean+baptiste+andrea&adgrpid=1335909027259141&gb=2&hvadid=83494577524399&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=62631&hvnetw=o&hvocijid=16369214492843958694--&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-83495360549507%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=10058_13485486&mcid=95e098697bbb32d58e6a6f81c2810f3c&tag=mh0b-20&ref=pd_sl_6gs7jb4ne0_e) ## Event Information Date: Monday, September 28th, 2026Time: 5:30-6:00pm for beginner level \/ 6:00-6:30pm for advanced levelLocation: Online via ZoomLanguage: FrenchCost: Pay what you wish.
