Это первая столь масштабная выставка работ архитектора в Европе: около 40 проектов представлено в виде 350 рисунков, набросков, коллажей и макетов, многие из которых будут показаны впервые.
Материалы выставки помогут приоткрыть таинство процесса превращения идеи или концепции в законченный архитектурный проект и понять уникальные методы работы архитектора.
Экспозиция разделена на 5 тематических и хронологических блоков, каждый из которых «возглавляет» знаковый объект Чуми, такой, как например Музей Акрополя в Афинах, Парк Ла Виллет в Париже, штаб-квартира компании Vacheron Constantin в Женеве или американские постройки: архитектурная школа в Майами и Блу Тауэр в Нью-Йорке.

Following exhibitions devoted to the work of Jean Nouvel, Thom Mayne, Richard Rogers, and Dominique Perrault, the Centre Pompidou will host the first major European retrospective of the architect and theorist Bernard Tschumi. The exhibition, which opens to the public on April 30th and runs through July 28th, showcases some three hundred and fifty drawings, sketches, collages, and models, many of them never shown previously. The installation designed by the architect also features archival documents and films.
On view will be over forty projects in Europe, the United States, China, and the Middle East, including architecture for the Parc Zoologique de Paris, scheduled for inauguration shortly before the exhibition opens. Exploring the process by which an idea or concept is transformed into an architectural project, the exhibition offers unique insight into Tschumi’s approach as well into individual works. Since the late 1970s, Tschumi has been redefining architecture through a series of conceptual arguments rooted in film, literature, the visual arts, and philosophy, producing an expanded definition of the discipline that has radically renewed architectural design methods.
The exhibition casts a spotlight on Tschumi’s influence and work as a theorist, a cultural presence, and a builder. The scope of his approach is developed through five thematic and chronological sections devoted to the concepts of space and event; program and superimposition; vectors and envelopes; context and content; and the “concept-form.” These five themes are illustrated by the architect’s most iconic projects, ranging from his early theoretical project titled The Manhattan Transcripts to the Acropolis Museum in Athens, the Parc de la Villette in Paris, the National Studio for Contemporary Art (Le Fresnoy) in Tourcoing, France; the Headquarters and Manufacturing Center for Vacheron Constantin in Geneva; and projects in the United States and the Dominican Republic.
