Foster + Partners, in association with Tsinghua University Art Museum, is presenting a new exhibition “Sustainable Communities | Shared Futures” investigating the work of the practice through the lens of sustainability through October 7.The museum says that focusing on the importance of human experience in the design of the built environment, the exhibition also shines a light on Foster + Partners’ integrated approach to design that combines expertise from several disciplines. This approach brings unique design solutions that are tailored to the site, its context, users and culture.“A wide overview of the practice’s work, the exhibition also asks pertinent questions about the future of the built environment, inviting the audience to creatively speculate about what their surroundings may be like over the next fifty years and beyond,” the museum says.The exhibition also offers visitors a unique insight into the workings of the studio exploring the use of different tools that have revolutionized the way designers work. The exhibition includes drawings, models, films and several case studies that illustrate the depth of research and analysis that goes into designing and building some of the most complex and innovative projects in the world.Spencer de Grey, Head of Design, Foster + Partners, said, “We build places and spaces for people. Our approach is holistic, combining environmental themes with social and economic concerns to create design solutions that respect the climate, culture and context of a place. We are delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit our work at the Tsinghua University Art Museum, and hope that visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the role design plays in the creation of sustainable communities.”Foster + Partners is a global studio for architecture, urbanism and design, rooted in sustainability, which was founded in 1967 by Norman Foster. Since then, Foster and the team around him have established an international practice with a worldwide reputation for thoughtful and pioneering design, working as a single studio that is both ethnically and culturally diverse. The studio integrates the skills of architecture with engineering, both structural and environmental, urbanism, interior and industrial design, model and film making, and aeronautics and the collegiate working environment is similar to a compact university. These diverse skills makes Foster + Partners capable of tackling a wide range of projects, particularly those of considerable complexity and scale.The exhibition is on view through October 7, 2018 at Tsinghua University Art Museum, 3rd Floor Exhibition Hall, Hai Dian District, Beijing, China.For details, visit: http://www.artmuseum.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
