Hyperborean Refractions of European Architecture
Commencing in the autumn of 2009, the Hellenic Institute of Architecture will inaugurate an annual series of lectures and exhibitions on architecture around the world. The first series of lectures and exhibitions concerns the architecture of Scandinavia.
Following the ground-breaking historical figures in Scandinavian architecture (Aalto, Asplund, Saarinen, Jacobsen, Utzon), the current series will focus on the contemporary leaders in architecture in these northern countries.
We will have the opportunity to follow as renowned Scandinavian architects analyse their oeuvre and we will discover the variety of approaches, design choices, linguistic idioms, technical solutions and relationships with the landscape that compose the palimpsest in one of the regions of the planet that is most privileged in the level of architectural quality development.
All lectures are open to the public and will be held at 19.30
