STORIES OF HOUSES - May 2, Monday 12.15 pm Department of Graphics, Form & Design - Studio I
How can an architect design a house for his older sister who has just become a widow? What can an architect offer when his client, who is confined to a wheelchair, asks for a complex design that will become his world? And when art lovers offer total freedom for the design of their house? How is one to explain that the neighbours once shot at the house of the architect who now has acclaimed international prestige?
This series of real examples tries to give answers to questions concerning intimacies and origins of important international houses.
