Part of Stroom School, a public program of lectures, tours and events accompanying the exhibition Another Reality. After Lina Bo Bardi.
In collaboration with the Community of Practice* (a study group consisting of architects, artists, art historians and eductors) Stroom organizes a meeting dedicated the social function of public space. This is an important element in Lina Bo Bardi's work, and also in the work of Dutch architect (and Bo Bardi admirer) Aldo van Eyck. The afternoon starts with a lecture by Anna van Lingen and Denisa Kollarová about their publication Aldo van
Eyck - Seventeen Playgrounds about Van Eyck's
unique playgrounds in Amsterdam (click here for a preview of the book on ISSUU) . Their minimalistic design intended to stimulate the imagination and curiosity of city kids. This premise is very topical again; how to involve children in the urban fabric in a playful way? The lecture will be followed by a discussion and by a short guided tour of the exhibition by Francien van Westrenen (curator at Stroom).
