Rooms, plans and constructed shapes
Conference with Jean-Christophe Quinton (architect, director of ÉNSA Versailles)
As part of the solo exhibition by French architect Jean-Christophe Quinton entitled “The otherness of the rooms and the promise of the forms”, we invite you to a conference!
— Conference
‘How can architecture’s own resources be used to alleviate the complexity of situations? How can form, plan, rooms and materials be deduced in a specific and original way for each project?
This questioning gives rise to an architectural strangeness that is both situated and autonomous. Architecture then becomes an immediate experience that helps us to be better in the world, to be better to others and to be better to ourselves.
– Jean-Christophe Quinton, architect
This conference is part of the exhibition Jean-Christohe Quinton, organised by the luca – Luxembourg centre for architecture, with the support of Institut français du Luxembourg and the Association Victor Hugo.
