Philosopher Émanuelé Coccia at Illinois Institute of Architecture ~ The Museum for Contemporary Nature, a talk centered on the idea that nature is every bit as artistic as she is crucial to be aware of. Natural evolution is as creative as it is necessary. And that in the urban fabric, life that imitates nature is more successful and beautifying than without.
This beautiful lecture celebrates the research between and found in their collaborative book together | The Art of Architectural Grafting | L’art de Greffer En Architecture | an explorative work during his residency as result of the Mondrian Initiative Prize. His work is profound, funny, inquisitive and at times, poignant and thought-provoking.
What if we learned to see nature as its own set stage and let it play while we did? What if we harmoniously existed and saw it for the wonder and art that it truly is?
