Some snippets of a lecture that I designed for and put together with Sigrid Adriaenssens (PhD—Associate Professor Civil and Environmental Engineering, Princeton University) about the transformation and geometry in architect Anne Tyng’s work! This is part of the 2020 Women in Design and Architecture Conference at Princeton University School of Architecture. The work Sigrid will be presenting tomorrow, arose out of a conversation we had a few weeks ago. We are also working on a publication that will be published later this year. The event is free and open to the public! Go see her!
About the 2020 Women in Design and Architecture Conference:
This annual conference celebrates the work and legacy of a pivotal female architect or designer with contributions from international historians and scholars, in addition to artists, curators, and practitioners. This year it’s about Anne Tyng. Through independent projects, in addition to her work with architects Louis Kahn and Pier Luigi Nervi, Tyng explored geometry as it relates to natural form and construction. She approached design as a process and profession through teaching and writing, addressing the social, psychological, and experiential dynamics of creativity and collaboration; her work has influenced other practitioners as well as models of practice.
