What’s art to an architect? Better yet, is an architect an artist? Does the matter of functionality pose an obstacle for creativity or does it simplify the process by sculpting necessary guidelines? Can a craft so technically inclined coincide with the limitless imagination?
This evening, April 21st, RISD’s newly formed American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) will present the first annual Facade Media Festival–a one night exhibition of performances, installations, and experiments exploring the relationship between media and space, art and architecture through large scale projections. The event was curated alongside Greg Nemes from the RISD Architecture grad research and pedagogy studio, Group GS and Jeffrey Pena, founder of Curbs and Stoops. If you are in the northeast stop by the BEB and catch the Facade Media Festival in person. All others can catch it streaming live right here on Art Nouveau Magazine starting at 7 PM.
