Tschumi

Exponent of the international architectural avant-garde, European master and leading figure in the North American debate over architecture, Bernard Tschumi represents, with his writings and his works, an important point of reference and one of the most innovative personalities on the cutting edge of reflection on contemporary architecture.
Ranging from his first radical projects to the consecration of his international reputation with the realization of the Parc de la Villette in Paris at the end of the eighties, and from the French projects of Rouen and Paris to the recent works for the extension of Columbia University in New York and the Miami campus, culminating in his winning of the major international competitions for the new Museum of the Acropolis in Athens, the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo and the Museum of African Art in New York, the volume tells the story of an important figure in contemporary international architecture, proposing for the first time the complete series of projects realized by the Swiss master.
