RED - AS WE SEE IT

PARC - DE - LA - VILLETTE (THE FOLLIES) "If red is not a colour , then what is it ?"

"When I did the Parc de la Villette with the red follies, everybody kept asking “Why red?” I never answered this question, saying instead “You can say anything you want.” Eventually, I said, “Red is not a color”, which just added more mystery to the project.”

-Bernard Tschumi

LA FRESNOY ARTS CENTRE, PARIS

THE BLUE RESIDENCE , NEW YORK

THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM ,ATHENS

"The circulation route narrates a rich spatial experience from the city street into the historical world of the different periods of archeological inquiry. The visitor's route through the museum forms a clear three-dimensional loop, affording an architectural and historical promenade that extends from the archeological excavations, visible through a glass floor in the entrance gallery, to the Parthenon Frieze in a gallery with views over the city, and back down through the Roman period."

-Bernard Tschumi

THE MANHATTAN TRANSCRIPTS & THE SCREENPLAYS "Architecture is not simply about space and form, but also about event, action, and what happens in space."

-Bernard Tschumi "There is no architecture without event, without activity, without function; architecture must be thought of as the combination of spaces, events and movements, without precedence or hierarchy between these terms.�

-Bernard Tschumi

The Manhattan Transcripts (1976-1981)

25 YEARS LATER AT NYC MOMA Deconstructivism: Retrospective Views and Actuality "Could an exhibition similar to Deconstructivist Architecture happen today? Does today's architectural climate invite a genre-defining moment?"

-Mark WIgley (Professor at GSAPP Columbia) There is nothing today to battle, like postmodern architecture 25 years ago .

-Bernard Tschumi

"The ultimate pleasure of architecture lies in the most forbidden parts of the architectural act , where limits are perverted and prohibitions are transgressed."

- Bernard Tschumi
