Tschumi:Projects in/of Motion

Netherlands Architecture Institute
Rotterdam
June 13–July 13

Though best known for the bright red folies that punctuate the Parc de la Villette in Paris, architect Bernard Tschumi is no one-hit wonder. This major exhibition finds Tschumi once again championing the architecture of the event, but now the event has moved indoors. Tschumi’s in-progress work like the Ecole d’Architecture in Marne-la-Valleé, France, and the Columbia University Student Center makes for a seductive presentation—state-of-the-art computer images accompanied by the architect’s hand-scrawled harangues. Most striking, however, is the Studio National des Art Contemporain in Le Fresnoy, France, scheduled for completion this summer, which encloses an existing red-tile roofscape within an enormous shed.
