Field Experiments in Art-Architecture-Landscape
On a 650-acre expanse of farmland near Cologne, Germany, adjacent to a
former NATO missile base, sixteen architects and artists from around the
world are currently creating an experimental development called
Hombroich spaceplacelab: a unique and daring merger of art, architecture
and landscape. Now, the AIA New York Chapter´s Center for Architecture
will present a major exhibition of projects for Hombroich spaceplacelab,
designed by architects and artists including Tadao Ando, Frei Otto,
Oliver Kruse and Alvaro Siza. Field Experiments in
art-architecture-landscape: Hombroich spaceplacelab will showcase
models, sketches, plans and photography, as well as a site model and
video on the existing art park, Museum Island Hombroich, and the
surrounding region. The exhibition will also explore the arts
communities of Marfa, Texas, and the Heyri Art Valley in Paju, Korea,
positioning Hombroich spaceplacelab in the context of other
unconventional developments for public art, architecture and landscape.
