Second Goetheanum by Rudolf Steiner (Dornach, Switzerland,1924-1928)
Curated by Pieter van der Ree, the exhibition is intended to raise awareness of the relationship between architecture and the natural, social and cultural life of which it is part and to stimulate the creation of buildings that support these life-processes.
Artkitektura lecture series and workshops will be on February 3 and 4 from 8:30 AM to 5 PM. The lectures will be held at the Aretè, Ateneo de Manila’s newest building dedicated to arts and innovation, while the workshops will be at the UP Vargas Museum.
The February 3 speakers and workshop leaders include world leading environmental engineer Patrick Bellew who led the design team of the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore; award-winning Australian architect Gregory Burgess, notable for his organically designed buildings and participatory approach; and Filipino architect Jason Buensalido, whose experimental designs seek to contemporize the bahay kubo.
On February 4, the lectures will be led by Richard Coleman, a British architect specializing in heritage and townscape design; Colombian bamboo and timber engineer Luis Lopez; and Quezon City Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte.
