Bernard Tschumi

New York and Paris

Bernard Tschumi is widely recognized as one of todays foremost architects. First
known as a theorist, he drew attention to his innovative architectural practice in
1983 when he won the prestigious competition for the Parc de La Villette, a 125acre cultural park based on activities as much as nature. The intertwiningconcepts
of event and movement in architecture are
supported by Tschumis belief that architecture
is the most important innovation of our time.
Tschumi often references other disciplines in
his work, such as literature and film, proving
that architecture must participate in cultures
polemics and question its foundations.

Bernard Tschumi secara luas diakui sebagai

salah satu arsitek terkemuka sampai hari ini.
Pertama dikenal sebagai teoretikus, ia menarik
perhatian dengan praktek arsitektur yang
inovatif
pada
tahun
1983
ketika
ia
memenangkan kompetisi bergengsi untuk Parc
de La Villette, taman budaya seluas 125 hektar
kebanyakan berdasarkan pada kegiatan alam.
Terjalinnya konsep dari "peristiwa" dan
"gerakan" dalam arsitektur yang didukung
oleh keyakinan Tschumi bahwa arsitektur
adalah inovasi yang paling penting dari waktu kita. Tschumi sering mempelajari
referensi disiplin lain dalam karyanya, seperti sastra dan film, membuktikan bahwa
arsitektur harus berpartisipasi dalam polemik kebudayaan dan mempertanyakan
dasar-dasarnya.
Since then, he has made a reputation for groundbreaking designs that include the
new Acropolis Museum; Le Fresnoy National Studio for the Contemporary Arts; the
Vacheron-Constantin Headquarters; The Richard E. Lindner Athletics Center at the
University of Cincinnati; two concert halls in Rouen and Limoges, and architecture
schools in Marne-la-Valle, France and Miami, Florida, as well as the Alsia
Archaeological Center and Museum among other projects. The offices versatility
extends to infrastructure projects and master plans. Major urban design projects
recently executed or in implementation under Tschumis leadership include master
plans in Beijing, Shenzhen, New York, Montreal, Chartres, Lausanne, and Santo
Domingo, with a new city for 40,000 residents. Currently under construction are the
Hague Passage and Hotel in the Netherlands, a Philharmonic Hall for Le Rosey, near

Geneva, an expansion of the headquarters for Vacheron Constantin, and a major

renovation
and
redesign
of
the
Paris
Zoo.
Sejak itu, ia telah membuat reputasi untuk terobosan desain yang mencakup
Acropolis Museum yang baru; Le Fresnoy Nasional Studio Seni Kontemporer; Markas
Vacheron Constantin-; Richard E. Lindner Atletik Center di Universitas Cincinnati;
dua gedung konser di Rouen dan Limoges, dan sekolah arsitektur di Marne-la-Valle,
Perancis dan Miami, Florida, serta Balai Arkeologi Alsia dan Museum di antara
proyek-proyek lainnya. Fleksibilitas kantor meluas ke proyek-proyek infrastruktur
dan master plan. Proyek desain perkotaan utama yang baru-baru ini telah
dijalankan atau dilaksanakan di bawah kepemimpinan Tschumi termasuk
masterplan di Beijing, Shenzhen, New York, Montreal, Chartres, Lausanne, dan Santo
Domingo, dengan kota baru untuk 40.000 warga. Saat ini yang sedang dibangun

Rosey, di dekat Geneva, perluasan kantor pusat untuk Vacheron Constantin, dan
