Brazil’s Alternative Path to Modernism
Brasiliens alternativer Weg in die Moderne
I4.II.I4 –22.2.I5
Dear participants / Sehr geehrte Teilnehmer,
It is my great pleasure to cordially welcome you to the exhibition “Lina Bo Bardi IOO ”. The works of this committed and
extremely versatile architect consequently fit into the series
of exhibitions in which the Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität München analyzes the social relevance
of architecture. I am very much looking forward to any new
suggestions and insights regarding Lina Bo Bardi’s buildings,
projects and theories as a result of the contributions and discussions of this symposium, thus emphasizing her particular
relevance for the current discourses in architecture.
Ich freue mich sehr, Sie zum Auftakt der Ausstellung „Lina Bo
Bardi I OO“ begrüßen zu können. Das Werk dieser engagierten
und extrem vielseitigen Architektin fügt sich konsequent in
die Reihe von Ausstellungen, mit denen wir im Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität München die soziale Relevanz von Architektur untersuchen. Ich freue mich schon jetzt
darauf, dass aus den Beiträgen und Diskussionen dieses Symposiums neue Anregungen und Erkenntnisse zu den Bauten,
Projekten und Theorien Lina Bo Bardis hervorgehen, die ihre
besondere Bedeutung auch für die aktuellen Diskurse in der
Architektur unterstreichen. Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Andres Lepik

Symposium
Recent research on the work of Lina Bo Bardi will be the
focus of a scholarly symposium, that will take place on the
occasion of the exhibition opening “Lina Bo Bardi IOO” on
November 13th, 2014 in the Ernst von Siemens-Auditorium
of the Pinakothek der Moderne. International speakers from
Brazil, USA and Europe will come together to discuss Lina Bo
Bardi’s work. The focus will be the reflection of her design
methodologies, her theoretical interests and her effective
implementation in the practice of architecture.
Neueste Forschungen zum Werk von Lina Bo Bardi stehen im
Zentrum eines wissenschaftlichen Symposiums, das anlässlich der Eröffnung der Ausstellung »Lina Bo Bardi IOO« am
13. November 2014 im Ernst von Siemens-Auditorium in der
Pinakothek der Moderne stattfindet. Internationale Referenten aus Brasilien, den USA und Europa informieren und diskutieren über Lina Bo Bardis Arbeiten. Im Zentrum steht die
Betrachtung ihrer gestalterischen Methoden, ihrer thematischen Interessen und deren wirkungsvolle Umsetzung in die
architektonische Praxis.
The Symposium will analyze the little explored aspects of her
work including her exhibition practices, her architecture and
her theoretical writings dealing with the concepts of modernism in architecture. Together with the audience, questions
regarding Lina Bo Bardi’s work will be explored: Why is interest in the Italian-Brazilian architect piquing only now? What
influence does her work hold as an alternative path to modernity for younger generations? And what lessons can today’s
architects learn from her anthropological pursuits? These
topics, questions of the complex personality Lina Bo Bardi
and her recontextualized role as an architect will be explored
during the Symposium.
Das Symposium analysiert bislang wenig untersuchte Aspekte ihres Schaffens wie die Ausstellungspraxis, die architekturtheoretischen Schriften und den Umgang mit den Konzepten
der Moderne in der Architektur. Gemeinsam mit dem Publikum sollen auch Fragen nach der Aktualität von Lina Bo Bardis Werk diskutiert werden: Warum steigt das Interesse an
dieser italienisch-brasilianischen Architektin gerade heute?
Welchen Einfluss hat ihr Werk als ein alternativer Weg der
Moderne auf die junge Generation? Und welche Lektionen
ergeben sich aus ihren anthropologischen Interessen für die
heutige Architektur? Mit diesen Themen und Fragestellungen
sollen die komplexe Persönlichkeit Lina Bo Bardis und ihre
Rolle als Architektin neu verortet werden.
