Uma exposição em Paris reúne obras de artistas brasileiros traçando um paralelo da arte nacional e da arquitetura modernista no Brasil com o arquiteto e urbanista franco-suíço Le Corbusier. A mostra "Aberto" está em sua quarta edição e acontece fora do país pela primeira vez, numa proposta cultural que integra as ações da Temporada França-Brasil 2025. "Aberto" 4 está em cartaz na Maison La Roche, no 16º arrondissement de Paris. Cerca de 35 obras estão expostas na casa de Le Corbusier, um prédio tombado como Patrimônio Mundial da Unesco, e que foi idealizada pelo próprio arquiteto.Filipe Assis, fundador do projeto, diz que teve a ideia de unir arte e arquitetura. “Escolhemos a casa do Le Corbusier, e esta não é qualquer casa, mas uma das mais importantes da produção dele como arquiteto. E por ele ter essa relação rica com o Brasil, contamos aqui um pouco da história da arquitetura brasileira, da relação que Corbusier teve com Lúcio Costa, com Oscar Niemeyer e a influência que ele teve posteriormente na arte brasileira”, contou, já adiantando que o plano é levar o projeto para outros países.“Geralmente a gente tem um núcleo em torno da figura do arquiteto que projetou a casa que estamos ocupando", explica Kiki Mazzucchelli, uma das curadoras da exposição. "Em cada uma das edições tivemos sessões um pouco mais biográficas, que contavam um pouco da história da casa e do arquiteto. E aqui não foi diferente”, detalhou.Arte e arquitetura integradasA curadora comentou que houve um trabalho minucioso para integrar a arte aos espaços existentes. “Quando fazemos a curadoria do 'Aberto', pensamos muito no espaço. Como usamos espaços inusitados, que não são feitos para serem expositivos, levamos muito em consideração a arquitetura. O que temos aqui nessa exposição da Maison La Roche é uma grande mistura. Então, na grande galeria do monsieur La Roche, que era um grande colecionador, e que tinha as próprias obras expostas nesse espaço, fizemos uma seleção de obras de artistas históricos, ligados ao concretismo e ao neoconcretismo. Mas a maioria das obras contemporâneas foi de obras comissionadas, ou seja, foram diálogos com cada artista que respondeu a algum aspecto da prática do Le Corbusier", conta. "Alguns optaram por dialogar com as cores que ele escolheu para essa casa, outros com o pensamento da arquitetura moderna que ele introduziu no Brasil. Enfim, são vários olhares distintos em relação a essa figura do Le Corbusier, menos como uma grande influência, mas mais com a criação de diálogos com essa obra vasta, que perpassa a arquitetura e a arte”, disse. Le Corbusier e o BrasilLauro Cavalcanti é pesquisador e especialista nas obras de Le Corbusier e de Lúcio Costa, tendo escrito três livros sobre as ligações do arquiteto francês com o Brasil. Ele, que também integra o grupo de curadores da mostra, conta que a relação de Le Corbusier com o país se deu ao longo de toda sua vida e que foi muito importante também para um outro grande nome da arquitetura brasileira.“Nos anos 20, Le Corbusier percorreu a América do Sul fazendo conferências, nessa ocasião fez um esboço de um plano de cidade para o Rio e se apaixonou. Sete anos depois, Lúcio Costa, a quem tinha sido encomendado o Ministério da Educação (atual Edifício Gustavo Capanema, no Rio de Janeiro), chamou Le Corbusier para ser consultor. E junto a uma equipe de jovens arquitetos brasileiros, eles fizeram esse prédio que entrou para a história da arquitetura mundial. E a solução final foi dada por Oscar Niemeyer.  Então, Le Corbusier deu ao Brasil muito, recebeu muito também, porque foi a oportunidade dele provar que não era só um teórico. Mas ainda nos deu Oscar Niemeyrer, porque ele se revelou em um trabalho com ele. Ninguém achava que Niemeyer fosse o gênio que foi”, contou.Do Paraná para a EuropaUm dos artistas a expor na "Aberto", Sidival Fila falou sobre a importância da experiência, a primeira vez em que participa de uma exposição coletiva com grandes artistas brasileiros. Ele, que trabalha com tecidos antigos, é de Arapongas, no Paraná, mas vive e atua em um convento de irmãos franciscanos em Roma, na Itália, há 20 anos.“Meu trabalho é criar essas formas internas construindo e reconstruindo a superfície e elaborando uma imagem, criando a tridimensionalidade, volume, luz, integração entre fios e fundo”, explicou ele, monstrando um quadro comporto por um tecido em seda, feito à mão, datando de meados de 1800, um material "raro e precioso", ressalta. A "Aberto 4", na Maison La Roche, fica em cartaz até o dia 8 de junho e os ingressos, que custam €10, podem ser adquiridos diretamente na entrada da instituição.

Dare to Declare: What Happened to Manifestos?

Send us a textWhat happened to the architectural manifesto? This fascinating question from a listener propels us into an exploration of how architects have historically proclaimed their design philosophies—and why such bold declarations seem increasingly rare in contemporary practice.The architectural landscape was once dramatically shaped by manifestos: Le Corbusier's "Towards New Architecture," Adolf Loos's "Ornament and Crime," and the revolutionary Bauhaus movement all articulated clear visions that transformed how we think about building. But today, as we scroll through endless Instagram feeds of similar-looking projects, has something fundamental been lost? Have we surrendered the courage to stake out distinctive architectural territory?We examine whether BIG's "Yes Is More" represents perhaps the last true modern architectural manifesto, and whether practice websites and mission statements have become watered-down replacements for the revolutionary spirit that once drove architectural movements. The conversation takes surprising turns toward craft, material engagement, and how the "tall poppy syndrome" might be preventing architects from boldly declaring their principles.Most importantly, we consider whether writing your own manifesto—even if just for personal clarification—could help combat the global homogenisation of architectural styles. By articulating what you believe about design, perhaps you can recentre your practice and contribute something meaningful to architectural discourse. As we navigate a world increasingly dominated by AI-generated forms and committee-driven decisions, maybe the time is right for a return to architectural conviction.Key Sources:https://www.archdaily.com/921760/how-to-write-an-architectural-manifestohttps://designformindfulness.blog/significant-manifesto-examples/https://www.architectural-review.com/awards/world-architecture-festival/a-manifesto-for-the-next-10-yearshttps://www.thoughtco.com/architecture-timeline-historic-periods-styles-175996https://archeyes.com/architecture-chronology-timeline-important-architecture-projects/ Chapters:0:29 - Episode Introduction2:03 - Defining Architectural Manifestos6:44 - Famous Historical Manifestos13:19 - Modern Manifestos - Do They Exist?17:56 - Global Homogenisation of Architecture27:43 - Manifesto vs Craftsmanship36:56 - The Future of Architecture47:14 - Love It or Hate It Wrap-upFollow us on @designpriciplespod on Instagram.If you wish to contact us hit our DMs or email us on info@designprinciplespod.com

Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation in Marseille remains one of the most polarising architectural landmarks of the 20th century. A bold experiment in modernist housing, it envisioned a radical new way of urban living, one that was both efficient and communal. While celebrated by many architects for its innovation, it has also faced criticism for disregarding the social and cultural complexities of real cities.In this episode of Light Cities Architecture, writer and editor Justine Costigan and practising architect Antony DiMase delve into the legacy, mythology, and reality of this Brutalist icon. Was it a revolutionary step forward, or an idealistic vision that fell short? And, given the choice, would either of them choose to live there?

Qu'est-ce que le brutalisme ?

Le brutalisme est un mouvement architectural.Le terme "brutalisme" vient du français béton brut, utilisé par l'architecte suisse Le Corbusier pour décrire l'aspect brut du béton après décoffrage. C'est dans les années 1950 que le mouvement prend son essor avec les architectes Alison et Peter Smithson, qui revendiquent une architecture honnête, où les matériaux et la structure ne sont pas dissimulés sous des finitions décoratives.Dans les années 1960 et 1970, le brutalisme devient un style dominant, notamment pour les bâtiments publics (universités, mairies, bibliothèques) et les logements sociaux. Son influence s'étend à travers le monde, particulièrement en Grande-Bretagne, en France, en Union soviétique et aux États-Unis.Principales caractéristiques du brutalisme1. Béton brut exposé : Pas d'enduit, pas de peinture, les bâtiments affichent directement la texture du béton. 2. Formes massives et angulaires : L'architecture brutaliste privilégie des volumes imposants, des lignes droites et des structures souvent monolithiques. 3. Matériaux apparents : Outre le béton, on trouve de la brique, de l'acier et du verre, laissés à l'état brut. 4. Fonctionnalité et minimalisme : Les bâtiments sont conçus pour répondre à un usage précis, sans ornementation superflue. 5. Expression de la structure : Les éléments architecturaux (escaliers, piliers, poutres) sont volontairement exposés et mis en avant. Exemples emblématiquesLa Cité radieuse (1947-1952, Marseille) de Le Corbusier Le Barbican Estate (1965-1976, Londres) La Bourse du Travail (1972, Bobigny) Le siège du Parti communiste français (1971, Paris) par Oscar Niemeyer Déclin et renouveauDans les années 1980, le brutalisme est critiqué pour son aspect froid et oppressant. Beaucoup d'édifices brutalistes sont détruits ou délaissés. Pourtant, depuis les années 2010, il connaît un regain d'intérêt, notamment dans l'art contemporain et le design urbain, où son esthétique radicale inspire de nouveaux projets.Aujourd'hui, le brutalisme est reconnu comme un courant architectural majeur du XXe siècle, apprécié pour son audace et sa force expressive.

Il Brutalismo è tornato sotto i riflettori grazie al film The Brutalist, candidato a ben 10 premi Oscar. Ma cosa rende così iconico questo stile architettonico? Nato nel secondo dopoguerra in Inghilterra, il Brutalismo è caratterizzato dall'uso del calcestruzzo a vista e da forme geometriche imponenti, spesso percepite come "pesanti" o grezze.

Faye Toogood is perhaps best known for her Roly-Poly chair, among the more famous pieces of furniture to come out of the 2010s and take over the zeitgeist, but the London-based designer's artistry and craft runs much deeper and spans much wider. She began finding, collecting, cataloging, producing, and editing her “assemblages” long before she ever had a name for them, and her design career has been marked by exactly that, beginning with the debut of Assemblage 1 (2010) and through to her latest, Assemblage 8: Palette (2024). On the whole, Toogood's creations serve as material investigations and discipline-defying attempts to better understand herself. Without formal training in design, Toogood—who was the Designer of the Year at the Maison&Objet design fair in Paris this past January and the Stockholm Furniture Fair's Guest of Honor in February—uses what she describes as the feeling of being “a fraud in the room” to her advantage. Through her work, she is an enigma; with projects across furniture, interiors, fashion, and homewares, she's unwilling to be defined by a single output and has instead built a multilayered practice and belief system that allows her to be “all heart and hands.” On this week's Time Sensitive—our debut of Season 11—Toogood talks about the acts of creation and connection, and how each underscores the enduring play that's ever-present in her work.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Faye ToogoodToogood[3:49] Assemblage 1[7:43] Assemblage 7[13:28] Seamus Heaney[14:50] Isamu Noguchi[14:50] Kan Yasuda[17:23] Roly-Poly chair[18:06] Rachel Whiteread[20:07] Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden[22:45] Matisse Chapel[25:40] “Ways of Seeing”[29:57] “Womanifesto!”[36:55] Assemblage 8[52:17] “The World of Interiors”

Chandigarh is the shared capital city of the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, built under the leadership of modernist and brutalist architect Le Corbusier, as an emblem of the postcolonial Indian nation state as visualized by the first Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

Během druhé světové války v ní sídlili nacisté a pak i osvobozenecké americké jednotky. Později funkcionalistická vila Savoye ve francouzském městě Poissy sloužila jako skladiště a nakonec měla být srovnána se zemí. Autorem slavné stavby přitom není nikdo jiný než světoznámý Le Corbusier. Vlna protestů ale nakonec vilu zachránila a dnes je jednou z nejlepších ukázek moderní architektury vůbec.

Si les grands ensembles et les quartiers populaires étaient autrefois synonymes de progrès et de modernité, à l'image des cités radieuses conçues par Le Corbusier, ils ont vu depuis quelques décennies leur image s'effondrer dans notre imaginaire collectif.Pour tenter de changer la donne, les pouvoirs publics, par la voix d'Emmanuel Macron, ont annoncé une consultation architecturale d'envergure baptisée "Quartiers de demain". Dans dix quartiers dits prioritaires, les cabinets les plus prestigieux s'affronteront tout au long de l'année dans un concours d'architectes afin de proposer 10 nouvelles cités radieuses.Mais avant de suivre ce concours au fil des mois à venir, Thomas Rozec, accompagné de Marie-Christine Jaillet, géographe et sociologue, et de Renaud Epstein, sociologue, a tenté de comprendre le désamour qu'ont vécu les quartiers populaires.Merci à L'Europe des Projets Architecturaux et Urbains (EPAU) avec qui nous avons fabriqué cet épisode.Programme B est un podcast de Binge Audio présenté par Thomas Rozec.

In this episode, I sit down with Nicholas Fox Weber, art historian and Executive Director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. He is also the author of fifteen books, among them iBauhaus, Le Corbusier, Balthus: A Biography, and Patron Saints. Weber is a gradu­ate of Colum­bia Col­lege (B.A., major in Art History), Yale Uni­ver­sity (M.A., Art History; Fellowship in American Art), and the University of Groningen (PhD).  He lives in Connecticut, Paris, and Ireland. Despite all his professional accomplishments, Nick's heart is focused on his humanitarian work in Senegal. Nick is the founder of Le Korsa, a not-for-profit organization in Senegal. I admire Nick so much. We all see things in life that we wish we could change or people that we'd like to help – yet we are all so busy with our own lives that it is the rare among us that does something – Nick is one of those people. After a trip to Senegal with a Parisian doctor about twenty years ago, Nick saw communities that needed access to health care, education, and basic amenities. Ever since, Nick has worked tirelessly to support clinics, schools, and other life-saving initiatives in Senegal through Le Korsa.     My son John and I visited Senegal in February of 2023, and we witnessed Nick's incredible work firsthand. Every bit of resources directed toward Le Korsa make such an impact. Donations to Le Korsa go directly to projects in Senegal, from digging wells to buying academic supplies to helping patients receive medical care. In this conversation, Nick and I discuss his work in Senegal, how and why he got started, and about his spectacular and purposeful life as an art historian, author, and humanitarian. This episode is just the kind of inspiration that is so fitting this holiday season! To learn more about Le Korsa, visit https://www.aflk.org/ If you enjoy the show, please rate and review.

Originally born in Ireland, she spent her career in France, becoming a self-taught architect and an innovator in furniture design. She's known for blending functionality with bold, avant-garde aesthetics. Her early career began with mastering lacquer work, a craft she honed despite its physical challenges, and she became a leading figure in Art Deco. Gray's most iconic work is the E-1027 house, a modernist masterpiece designed with meticulous attention to detail and human-centered design principles. Despite her contributions, her achievements were often overshadowed by her male contemporaries, including the controversial vandalism of her work by Le Corbusier. Gray's designs, like the Bibendum Chair, the E-1027 table and her modular lacquer screens, continue to inspire today. Rediscovered in her later years, she is now celebrated as a trailblazer who forged her own path, proving that vision and resilience can leave a lasting mark on the world of design. About EmilyEmily Farnham is the founder of Emily Farnham Architecture, a Los Angeles-based practice known for its innovative and holistic approach to residential design. With an impressive career that spans architecture, interiors, and custom design, Emily's projects balance aesthetics, function, and personalization. She holds a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard's Graduate School of Design and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Virginia's School of Architecture. Before establishing her practice in 2014, Emily honed her skills at several leading design firms in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and San Francisco. This diverse background equipped her with the expertise to tackle projects of varying scales and complexities, from residential spaces to large-scale civic and educational buildings. Emily is a licensed architect in California and a LEED-accredited professional, known for her meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of the construction process.Follow Emily:Instagram: @emilyfarnhamarchitectureWebsite: emilyfarnham.com  ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

In 1927, after famously being dismissed by Le Corbusier with the remark, "We don't embroider cushions here," she eventually joined his studio and co-designed iconic pieces like the LC4 Chaise Longue and LC2 armchair.Though these collaborations are what she is most known for, Perriand's career extended far beyond them. She designed the modular Nuage Bookshelf and minimalist Tokyo Bench, blending functionality with clean, modernist aesthetics. Perriand was also integral to larger architectural projects like the Unité d'Habitation, where she introduced multifunctional interiors, and the Les Arcs Ski Resort, where her modular furniture designs embraced the natural environment. About AdiAdi Goodrich is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary designer known for her vibrant and imaginative approach to Environmental design, Interiors, and furniture. Growing up in Chicago, she was heavily influenced by her father's work in architectural and furniture restoration, which fostered her love for craftsmanship from a young age. Adi studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and La Sorbonne in Paris, where she explored various disciplines including painting and art history.Goodrich first gained attention working on window displays for Barneys New York and Anthropologie, which led to a flourishing career in set design for films, commercials, and photoshoots. Adi is Co-founder of Sing-Sing Studio, a creative practice she shares with her partner, filmmaker, Sean Pecknold where they have worked with major brands such as Apple, Google, Nike, Target, and more, bringing a unique blend of storytelling and design to each project. Adi also launched her own furniture line, in 2022 called "Sing-Thing." Her work is characterized by a bold use of color, materials, and a focus on creating spaces that are narratively driven.

Nous sommes le 15 décembre 1933. Dans le numéro 13 de la revue « Bâtir », crée l'année précédente, relayant les tendances de la Belgique de l'Entre-deux-guerres, on peut lire un article intitulé : « Architecture d'orgueil et de misère – La ville au cœur pourri ». Il est signé par Stanislas Jasinski, architecte, membre de l'Association de Décorateurs et Ensembliers Modernes. « Qu'est-ce que l'architecture d'aujourd'hui ? Qu'est-ce que la construction ? Où en est, de par le monde, cette activité, ou , plus exactement, cette industrie qui groupe d'innombrables travailleurs et techniciens de tous les corps d'état en grande partie réduits au chômage ? Faut-il croire, avec Berlage, qu'elle reflète exactement l'état dans lequel se trouve la Société qu'elle encadre ? Les jeunes estiment que le moment est venu de faire le bilan des méfaits du conformisme et de les laisser tenter eux aussi une expérience. Il n'est plus temps, en effet, de nier l'évidence et de reporter à plus tard l'audience des nouvelles générations. Nous avons éprouvé que les vieux pilotes avaient la vue faible el que leurs actions n'étaient que simulacre. Nous voulons faire quelque chose, n'importe quoi, pourvu que ce soit utile. Nous voulons démolir – nous savons pourquoi – et nous voulons rebâtir – nous savons comment ! La maison de l'homme de 1880, de 1890, ne nous convient plus. Nous a-t-elle jamais convenu ? Vieille à peine de cinquante ans, souvent moins, elle s'est révélée à ce point impratique et inadaptable que progressivement, les unes après les autres, on est contraint de les abandonner. Des rues entières constituées de ce vieux type d'immeubles se vident de leurs habitants, des quartiers vieillis se désaffectent et meurent de leur mort naturelle. Où sont-ils allés, où vont-ils, où iront-ils ces anciens habitants des maisons abandonnées ? Nous les avons suivis. Dépouillant la gangue déprimante de l'habitude et désireux d'épouser les normes nouvelles, ils s'acheminent progressivement vers l'immeuble moderne, rationnellement conçu, où ils réalisent enfin les conditions d'une vie plus confortable et partant plus heureuse. » Etoile montante de l'architecture moderniste, Stanislas Jasinski a côtoyé les personnalités marquante de son époque : Horta, van de Velde, Le Corbusier, mais aussi Magritte… On lui doit l'hôpital Bordet, à Bruxelles ou l'aéroport de Deurne près d'Anvers. Et surtout des immeubles à appartements de haut standing. Le recyclage permanent de la ville, son idée maîtresse, en font, peut-être, l'un de pionniers de l'écologie. Partons sur ces traces … Avec nous : Yaron Pesztat, curateur Architecture moderne au CIVA ( Centre International pour la Ville, le Paysage et l'Architecture) de Bruxelles.

Charline von Heyl talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Von Heyl, born in 1960 in Mainz, Germany, is one of the most original painters working today. Her art deliberately defies description, evading orthodox definitions like abstract or figurative by attempting to reach a space in which the viewer is emotionally and intellectually engaged to the extent that such terms are meaningless—a place, she has said, “where thoughts and feelings meet”. Her canvases are complex, with multiple layers of forms applied with apparently contradictory languages, from intricately applied patterns and hard-edges to free-flowing painterly passages. The images she paints are similarly disparate, with identifiable shapes alongside loose, lyrical, inchoate forms. And while some patterns, motifs, techniques, colour relationships and structures might repeat—particularly among discrete clusters of paintings—Von Heyl resists having a signature style. She keeps herself—and us, as viewers—guessing. Her paintings are the opposite of one-liners, instead revealing more the longer they are absorbed. While she is entirely individual in her language, Von Heyl is one of a number of artists internationally who are testing the possibilities of painting in the 21st century. She discusses the balance of chance and choice at the heart of her work, how she tunes herself “into a certain vibe” while painting, the different “speeds” at which she works, and the “contamination”, more than influence, of other artists. She reflects on her early transformative encounter with the German painter Wols, being taught by Jörg Immendorf, her fascination with Le Corbusier's paintings and how Emily Emily Dickinson and Peter Handke's writings have affected her work. Plus she gives insight into her studio life and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Je kent ze vast wel, die grindtegels die helft van de Nederlandse tuinen plaveien. De ontwerper daarvan? Mien Ruys. Ook al heb je misschien nog nooit van haar gehoord, Mien Ruys (1904-1999) is de rockster van de tuinarchitectuur. Ze hoort in het rijtje van Le Corbusier, Mondriaan en Rietveld vanwege haar strakke vormgeving en vooruitstrevende ontwerpideeën. Daarbij had ze socialistische idealen over de kracht van een goed aangelegde tuin.  Deze heerlijke documentaire is gemaakt voor OVT- Het spoor terug door Laura Stek & Ella Meng, in samenwerking met biograaf Leo den Dulk, modeontwerper Bonne Reijn en tuinarchitect Piet Oudolf. Gemaakt naar aanleiding van het 100-jarige jubileum van ‘De tuinen van Mien Ruys' en het bijbehorende boek ‘De tuin is een proces' van Conny Den Hollander.

While he may technically practice as a photographer, artist, and architect, Hiroshi Sugimoto could also be considered, from a wider-lens perspective, a chronicler of time. With a body of work now spanning nearly five decades, Sugimoto began making pictures in earnest in 1976 with his ongoing “Diorama” series. In 1980, he started what may be his most widely recognized series, “Seascapes,” composed of Rothko-esque abstractions of the ocean that he has taken at roughly 250 locations around the world. In more recent years, Sugimoto has also built a flourishing architectural practice, designing everything from a café in Tokyo to the currently-under-construction Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. As with his subtly profound work, Sugimoto bears tremendous wisdom and is regarded by many as one of the most deeply perceptive minds and practitioners at the intersection of time and art-making.On the episode, he discusses his pictures as fossilizations of time; seascapes as the least spoiled places on Earth; and why, for him, the “target of completion” for a building is 5,000 years from now.Special thanks to our Season 9 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Hiroshi Sugimoto[5:10] Pre-Photography Time-Recording Devices[39:05] “Theaters”[15:06] “Seascapes”[32:31] “Diorama”[17:16] Caspar David Friedrich[25:14] Odawara[28:52] “Aujourd'hui le monde est mort [Lost Human Genetic Archive]”[44:19] “Abandoned Theaters”[44:19] “Opera Houses”[44:19] “Drive-In Theaters”[49:52] “Architecture”[51:12] Le Corbusier[51:12] Mies van der Rohe[55:30] New Material Research Laboratory[55:30] Tomoyuki Sakakida[59:23] Enoura Observatory[59:23] Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden[1:00:48] Katsura Imperial Villa[1:01:05] Bruno Taut[1:02:14] Donald Judd[1:02:14] “Hiroshi Sugimoto: Five Elements in Optical Glass”[1:06:47] Mingei[1:06:47] Isamu Noguchi[1:06:47] Dan Flavin[1:09:15] Sugimoto Bunraku Sonezaki Shinju: The Love Suicides at Sonezaki[1:09:15] At the Hawk's Well[1:09:15] W.B.

Rather than making this a list of things we like – and by extension – things we think you should like as well, we are going to dig a bit deeper and talk about the story behind each item we discuss today. In a sense, it's that story that should make today's podcast interesting … just that fact that WE think it's interesting probably isn't good enough, so we are stepping up our game. The rules are simple – Andrew and I were each tasked with identifying a handful of items that we think are worthy of being labeled “Objects of Design” and we are going to present them in an alternating fashion. We are going to be keeping score because, at the end, I want my list to be better than Andrew's list. Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier (image credit here) CC by SA 3.0 Deed Villa Savoye jump to I am starting my list today with a building – one that architects, fans of architecture, and French people should all be familiar with … Villa Savoye, a modernist villa designed by Charles-Edouart Jeanneret-Gris, better known as “Le Corbusier” and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret located just outside Paris, France in the town of Poissey. It was built out of reinforced concrete between 1928 and 1931. The villa was designed for Pierre and Eugenie Savoye as a country home but the reality is that they barely lived there, but I'll get to that in a moment. I visited this building in the Fall of 1990 after having become quite familiar with the work as a result architectural history classes and quite honestly, even though it was not the popular still of architecture at the time, I really enjoyed Le Corbusier's work, not so much some of his ideas on Urban planning. But to really get to the interesting part of this particular project, we have to go back to 1927 when the League of Nations rejected the modern building that Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret proposed for its headquarters. To say Le Corbusier was disappointed would be an understatement and this moment became a jumping off point that led to Le Corbusier forming the International Congresses of Modern Architecture in 1928. Another Swiss from Zurich, Siegfried Giedion, who was trained as an Engineer, attended the Bauhaus School where he met Walter Gropius and formed his initial interest and opinions on the modern architecture movement, was the Secretary of the International Congress of Modern Architecture and he, along with Le Corbusier wrote the Working Programme of the congress and formulated the text of the declaration.

So it's now September 1928 and Le Corbusier has taken on the commission of Villa Savoye. It is called that, maybe obviously because it was the summer house for Pierre and Eugénie Savoye. The Savoye's developed a brief that called for the programming of the villa, but according to apparently Le Corbusier was given free reign aesthetically and he used this project to articulate some ideas that he had been working on and what would eventually be articulated in the book “Vers une A...

Seen from above, Sofia, Bulgaria, looks less like a city and more like a forest. Large "interblock park" green spaces between big apartment structures are a defining characteristic of the city. They're not so much "parks" in the formal sense, with fences and gates, just open green areas growing up in interstitial spaces left behind.But as green as it still looks today, Sofia used to be even greener.  Since the fall of Bulgarian communism in the late 1980s, Sofia has lost more than half of its green space. To understand why, one has to look back to the founding of the city in the Soviet era.Between the Blocks

Episode No. 639 features artists Sin Wai Kin and Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork. The Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive, University of California, Berkeley is presenting "MATRIX 284/Sin Wai Kin: The Story Changing," the artist's first US exhibition. BAMPFA's exhibition includes Sin's two most recent video works: The Breaking Story (2022) and Dreaming the End (2023). "The Story Changing" was curated by Victoria Sung and is on view through March 10. BAMPFA's eight-page exhibition brochure features a conversation between Sung and Sin. Sin often uses speculative fiction and narrative in performance and in filmic works. Informed by their experience in London's drag scene, Sin's work asks questions about history, the present, and the construction of reality and factuality. Sin was shortlisted for the UK's Turner Prize in 2022. Their work has been shown at museums such as Fondazione Memmo, Rome, Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneva, Somerset House, London, The British Museum, London, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, the 2019 Venice Biennale, and more. On the second segment, a re-air of a 2017 segment with Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork. The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University is presenting "Poems of Electronic Air," Gork's East Coast institutional debut, through April 7. The exhibition combines recent sculpture with a commissioned, site-specific installation made for the CCVA's Le Corbusier-designed building. Gork has previously exhibited at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, SFMOMA, SculptureCenter, New York, BAMPFA, and in the Hammer Museum's 2019 Made in L.A. biennial.
