MCHAP.emerge Lecture: Pezo von Ellrichshausen



MCHAP.emerge winners and Visiting Professors to the IIT CoA Cloud Studio, Pezo von Ellrichshausen delivered a lecture on Wednesday, September 17th at 6:30pm in S.R. Crown Hall titled "Naïve Intention."

The subject is an attempt to speculate about the fundamental opposition between what is intended and what is accidental in the production of a work of art or architecture. Through a presentation of a series of built houses and pavilions, the notions of schematic format and fragile circumstances will be introduced.
