[02] Group exhibition launches Le Corbusier tribute in AthensANA-MPA -- A group exhibition held as a tribute to the pioneering Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, a founding figure of the modernist architecture movement, opens its doors in the Athens district of Kypseli (Kykladon 8) on Tuesday evening, at the Spiteri/Proveleggios House. The exhibition "In the name of Le Corbusier" launches a series of events that will be held in the autumn of 2015 until the spring of 2016 in Athens to market the 50th anniversary since Le Corbusier's death. "Why Le Corbusier? He played a tremendous role in architecture, the arts and letters, urban planning in the 20th century. He became a global figure and had a very close relationship with Greece. A relationship that gives him a special role when we refer to Greek architecture and Greece's relations with the international architectural scene," noted National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) Professor Panagiotis Tournikiotis, who helped organise the exhibition. Tournikiotis highlighted Le Corbusier's love of the Greek landscape and environment, both that of Greek antiquity and in the unique architecture of the Cyclades islands and also his hugely influential lecture held in front of the NTUA in 1933, when he was head of the 4th International Congress on Modern Architecture. "This was so great that since 1930, even before the congress, and until his death in 1965, 18 Greek architects and civil engineers went to Paris to work with him. Some of them were famous, such as Aristomenes Proveleggios, who was the architect of this house and Yiannis Xenakis," he noted. The events in Greece are co-organised or supported partly or totally by the French Institute, the Swiss Embassy, the Greek Docomomo and other cultural or scientific entities.Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
