Summary:
Advances in Architectural Geometry is a symposium presenting both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometric developments applicable to architecture.

There, a variety of skilled craftsmen, architects and engineers collaborate in the same space, engaging in, exercising and practicing architecture in a manner that aspires to transcend its own physicality.

Mais son plaidoyer pour "Wright à Venise" est un vibrant appel au génie vénitien ancestral qui, en refusant Wright, signera son arrêt de mort et sa progressive muséification.
