The second installment in an interview series that explores the philosophical concerns of architects exhibiting at "TIME - SPACE - EXISTENCE," a collateral event at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, features architect and planner Denise Scott Brown.
Most of the attention given to Denise Scott Brown in recent years has centered around her comments on women in architecture and her newfound position as a role model – an "architectural grandmother" – for young women architects, a position she is proud to take on. She speaks about gender equality in the architectural profession during the four-minute film, but she also touches on what the three words of the exhibition, TIME - SPACE - EXISTENCE, mean to her.
ABOUT THE INTERVIEW SERIES
Reflecting the conceptual framework of the Global Art Affairs Foundation, the series explores the philosophical concerns of architects exhibiting at TIME SPACE EXISTENCE, part of the 2016 collateral programming at the Biennale Architettura 2016. The diverse roster includes Denise Scott Brown (USA), Peter Eisenman (USA), Curtis W. Fentress (USA), Meinhard von Gerkan (Germany), Dirk Hebel (Switzerland), Frei Otto (Germany), and Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell (Singapore). Curated and produced by PLANE—SITE, the video series will be on view for the duration of the TIME SPACE EXISTENCE exhibition. The series is produced by GAA Foundation with the support of the European Cultural Centre.
