Summary:
To open its Frontiers of Architecture series, Denmark's Louisiana Museum of Modern Art chose the engineer, innovative thinker and writer, Cecil Balmond, honoring him with an exhibition of projects past, present and future. This exhibition catalogue, covered in a clear vinyl slipcase, includes loose, abstract sketches, installation photographs and digital renderings of Balmond's various projects--exposing Balmond's varied sources of inspiration, thoughts, working methods and processes. For example, there is a section on his collaboration with the artist Anish Kapoor which documents the 2002 installation of a giant red gramophone-shaped fabric tube at Tate Modern in London. With his unconventional approach to structural engineering, Balmond is an indispensable sparring partner for some of the most challenging and innovative architects of our day, including Toyo Ito, Rem Koolhaas, Alvaro Siza and Daniel Libeskind.

Summary:
Du 26 avril au 16 septembre 2018, Martin Szekely expose au musée des Arts décoratifs et du Design (MADD) de Bordeaux un ensemble exceptionnel d’une quarantaine de pièces, conçues entre 1996 et 2018, autour du thème de la construction. Ces meubles et objets semblent réinventer leur composition même : ils sont tous le résultat d’un défi structurel. Expérimentant tous les matériaux, traditionnels ou nouveaux, Martin Szekely aborde chaque projet comme une nouvelle remise en question. Les meubles et les objets du designer sont le résultat d’un travail prospectif sur l’équilibre à partir de données de masse, de pesanteur et de réseaux de forces, le plus souvent invisibles à l’œil nu.
