#24 Beloved Architecture
Gezellig - Ideal home
Why the talk is inspiring?
If you ask the Dutch what their ideal house looks like, you are likely to get an answer that contains the untranslatable adjective “gezellig”.
In his role of architectural supervisor, which position should the urban designer take towards architectural style – especially when a dichotomy surfaces between home owners and architects? Martin Biewenga will share his experiences and invite the audience to a debate on the topic “Beloved Architecture”.
The lecture starts on the 7th of March, 20:00.
The lecture will be held at MO museum, Pylimo st. 17, Vilnius. The lecture will be in English language. The event is free.
Before the lecture, at 18:00 there will be an Ila Beka & Luise Lemoine film „Voyage autour de la Lune“ screening. Tickets for the film are for sale at: http://www.kinopasaka.lt/lt/filmai/voyage-autour-de-la-lune
