Event-Cities 2

The sequel to Bernard Tschumi's best-selling Event-Cities, documenting his recent architectural projects and updating his thoughts on architectures and cities.

In Event-Cities (MIT Press, 1994), Bernard Tschumi expanded his architectural concerns to address the issue of cities and their making. Event-Cities 2 continues this project through new selections from his recent architectural projects. The book includes the first comprehensive documentation of the drawings for the award-winning Parc de la Villette (including many previously unpublished drawings), his project for the expansion of the Museum of Modern Art, two architectural schools, a concert and exhibition hall, a student center, a railway station, a department store, and other urban projects. Tschumi suggests that architecture can accelerate the events of everyday life through new forms of organization. Using various modes of notation ranging from rough models to sophisticated computer-generated images, he reveals the complexities of the architectural process and the rich texture of events that define urban reality today.

Event Cities 2 - Five Design Devices of Benard Tschumi

In Event Cities 2, Benard Tschumi lists out his five design devices or strategies applied in his "in-between" architecture.The first device is using space, event and movement as beginning of analysis. The famous Parc de la Villette is a typical example. The second one is using the concept of "movement vector" to organize space. Vector can be applied as landscape in an office building in Geneva or as infrastructure in railaway station in Lausanne. The third one is to explore the relationship between soild and void in his design. The fourth one is to activate the movenment vector is this void. The fifth "envelope" strategy is to explore the potential of building envelope as animated and integrated in-between space, instead of just building skin.Through the explanation of the above strategies in Event-Cities 2 by Tschumi, all the complex ideas behind his recent design projects from 94 to 99 can be well-organized and easily understood by both design professionals and students.
