Bernard Tschumi

The first European retrospective exhibition of the work of architect, educator, and theorist Bernard Tschumi is now on view at the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel, Switzerland.

“Bernard Tschumi. Architecture: Concept and Notation”, directed by Hubertus Adam, is an edited version of the larger exhibition of the same name organized by the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, France in 2014 under co-directors Frédéric Migayrou and Aurélien Lemonier.

“Bernard Tschumi. Architecture: Concept and Notation” addresses the architect’s thought and work through five themes, starting with such seminal theoretical work as The Manhattan Transcripts (1976-81), currently in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and extending through recent built projects like The Acropolis Museum (2009) in Athens, Greece; the Headquarters and Manufacturing Center of Vacheron Constantin (2004) in Geneva, Switzerland; and the architecture of the redesign of the Paris Zoolological Park (2014).
