For this anniversary retrospective, previously unpublished drawings from the private archives of the architect’s family, mostly produced in the 2000s, are the subject of an exhibition. They bring together various themes from the series Migrations, Incisions, Oblique Treesand Solar, expressions of the architect’s research, concerns or visions.
The exhibition focuses on three major themes that are as relevant and topical as ever: immigration and the displacement of populations, the environment and the future sustenance of a growing world population. Each of the projects is motivated by the architect’s humanism, but above all by his rejection of conformism and sclerotic architectural standards.
This ground-breaking exhibition reflects the central role played by drawing in Claude Parent’s work. It presents works that, for the most part, have not yet been seen or published. Claude Parent’s drawings are just as influential as his writings and achievements. Drawn in ink or felt-tip pen, they show above all architectural representations, cities, oblique houses, urban landscapes…
Can be seen until 11 March at Galerie 8+4 at 36 rue de Turin in the 8th arrondissement!
