纽约理查·梅尔的新展览

“图片、塔楼、建筑-理查德·梅耶和乌尔姆·门斯特”是对这位备受赞誉的美国建筑师的回顾展。在过去半个世纪里，他对自然光和敏感的空间意识-“创造了崇高的审美照明空间和开明的文化价值观”-的运用，使他成为了美国当代最受尊敬的实践者之一。他是Pritzker建筑奖的获得者，并获得了美国建筑师协会和RIBA颁发的金牌。

这次展览将持续到11月22日，展出的包括以前梅耶项目的原始模型、草图、示意图和照片，其中包括康涅狄格州达里恩的史密斯大厦(Smith House)；他在新泽西州埃塞克斯瀑布(Essex Falls)为父母设计的房子；墨西哥城的改革塔(Reforma Towers)；以及纽约历史学会(New York History Society)和麦迪逊广场花园(Madison Square Gardens)尚未建成的竞争提案。

不可避免的是，展览的主要吸引人是乌尔姆·斯塔德索斯(Ulm Stadthauss)-这是一个22年前完成的项目，“被认为是对乌尔姆的明斯特广场(Münsterplatz)及其大教堂的历史构成的一种规划和文化补充。”梅耶认为，它完全代表了这家同名公司的设计理念。

这位建筑师解释说：“虽然建筑学一直在为我们提供关于我们曾经去过的地方的大量信息，但同时也为我们提供了一些线索，说明我们可能还能去哪里。”“我们很荣幸能在这个即将启动几个新建筑项目的国家展出我们的一些早期和当前的项目。”

'While architecture is forever providing us with volumes about where we have been,' Meier explains, 'it is at the same time offering us clues about where we may still be able to go.' Courtesy of Richard Meier & Partners Architects
