Architect, theoretician, visual artist, an exceptional thinker of the second half of the 20th century, mentor of architects, urbanists and artists – whatever the vantage point, it always seems insufficient to describe Yona Friedman. Grandiose visions of future cities and simple manuals motivating city dwellers of the present to shape their own living environment: Yona Friedman is an advocate of the social embeddedness of random aesthetics and architectural thinking.
In the scope of the incrementally structured project, the exhibition in Trafó from 15 September will be followed by “The Architecture of Survival” international conference on participatory planning, urban ecosystem and infrastructure, and the architecture of shanty towns, organised by KÉK (Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre) on 26 October. Throughout autumn 2011, Ludwig Museum will present a Yona Friedman retrospective exhibition, involving projects that reflect the influence of Friedman’s thinking today.
