Barbican--Future City





Barbican本月寄給會員的小冊中強力預告06夏天最盛大的

展覽。取名為Future City的建築展廣邀70位各具特色的建築師,

一起共襄盛舉。連我最愛的Zaha Hadid也在名單之中,看來到時

後一定得找個時間去瞧瞧。





之前有介紹過幾個在Barbican演出的作品,多為戲劇演出或音樂演出。

好吧,我承認我對於展覽藝術美有這麼大的興趣,除非有非常吸引我

的作品,不然有時候真的很懶得出門。老實說,每次展覽作品量對我來說

都過多,看完總有心力交瘁、眼花頭昏等症狀出現。沒辦法,心臟不太好

有時候實在不宜承受太多刺激。





Barbican很貼心的為會員們準備private preview的活動,年繳20鎊會費

還算值得,等看過preview之後在跟大家報告吧~不過我相信這麼難得的

展覽,一定是精彩可期,喜愛建築的朋友千萬不要錯過拉~

Future City

Experiment and Utopia in Architecture 1956 - 2006

15 June 2006 - 17 September 2006

Barbican Art Gallery







以下為Barbican網站的原文介紹。





What would it be like to live in a hairy house, a floating city, or an inflatable pod? Pure fantasy or the shape of things to come?



From extraordinary houses and incredible towers, to fantasy cityscapes and inhabitable sculptures, Future City showcases the most radical and experimental architecture to have emerged in the past 50 years.



Featuring a who’s who of architecture, the exhibition includes 70 visionary projects by influential and groundbreaking architects who have challenged convention to radically shape and influence the way we live.



From the visionary artist-turned-architect Constant Nieuwenhuys, to 1960’s giants Archigram and SuperStudio, to deconstructivists Daniel Libeskind and Zaha Hadid and contemporary digitally inspired work by Nox and Decoi, this is the most comprehensive survey of experimental architecture to be held in the UK.



Featuring 300 original models and drawings, plus photographs and film, Future City reveals classic projects: from Kisho Kurokawa’s Floating City (1961) and Rem Koolhaas’s Delirious New York (1978), to unusual and innovative houses including Shigeru Ban’s Paper Log House (1995) and Watanabe’s Jelly Fish house series (1990-97) .
