Emilio Ambasz: Architecture Toward Nature
The exhibition Emilio Ambasz: Architecture Toward Nature will be presented at the ground floor gallery of The Shanghai Study Centre (HKU) from January 15 to March 4, 2018.
What defines architecture, and what elevates a building beyond the mere sum of its parts? How does one inhabit a space? Can buildings coexist peacefully with nature? Should architects strive to create emotionally resonant works of art? These questions lie at the heart of Emilio Ambasz’s practice. Organized by the New York-based Curatorial Project and curated by Vladimir Belogolovsky, the exhibition examines the ideas and projects of Ambasz—an architect, designer, curator, and writer who has been developing radical green architecture for four decades. As James Wines noted, Ambasz is a "forerunner of Green Architecture."
