Architecture, People and Resources | Baumschlager & Eberle 2002-2007
(11/10/2007 - 13/01/2008) - Munich
Pinakothek der Moderne
Since its establishment as a partnership in 1985, the architectural practice of Baumschlager & Eberle in Lochau / Vorarlberg has completed well over 300 construction projects and building studies, earning itself an international reputation. Recent representative works include large-scale projects such as the Vienna airport extension, the MOMA high-rises in Beijing, the WHO / UNAIDS building in Geneva and the 1,000-bed hospital in Kortrijk (Belgium). Key to the Baumschlager & Eberle philosophy is that architecture is a complex entity requiring the integration of many different elements, to which justice can only be done if a building meets all the demands made on it in terms of structural intelligence, ecology, economic efficiency and social acceptability. This philosophy is reflected in the division of the »Architecture, People and Resources« exhibition into three distinct parts.

Vitra Design Museum
The work of Le Corbusier remains highly significant and relevant in today's architectural discourse. Yet during the past two decades, no major museum show has addressed the many aspects that still make Le Corbusier's work such an important point of reference for contemporary architecture and urbanism. To fill this void, the Vitra Design Museum is now joining forces with the Netherlands Architecture Institute and the Royal Institute of British Architects in the production of an international retrospective.

Si tratta veramente di una delle principali figure dello sviluppo sostenibile. Sono ormai lunghi anni che l'architetto francese ha orientato la propria opera per « contribuire a limitare il fenomeno catastrofico che porterà alla distruzione della qualità di vita del nostro ambiente a breve o medio termine ». E, con un'energia continua e sostenuta, ha cercato di andare fino in fondo del proprio pensiero portando con sé i suoi partner e clienti. Il suo scopo : incoraggiarli a vivere diversamente, in altre condizioni, per fare in modo di smettere di distruggere il nostro ambiente.
