KC Design Week | Philippe Barriere, Architect and Author
Get the scoop on Philippe Barriere’s new book Resolution, researched by his students at the University of Kansas.
In the face of environmental crisis and globalization, architecture is becoming indispensable as an instrument to reconcile man with his cultural, social and environmental setting. That, in a nutshell, is the philosophy behind Philippe Barriere’s highly acclaimed visionary book. His approach is to define new relationships between nature, man and society by creating an architectural model that permits a balance.
In this casual presentation, Philippe will guide his audience through the intricate research and viable resolutions that resulted in architectural works of realism and beauty. Autographed copies of Resolution: Repositioning the Relation Between Man and Nature will be available for purchase.
Philippe received his degree in architecture from the L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and received a Master of Science in Urban Planning from the Institut d’Urbanisme de Paris, followed by a Doctorate in Art History at the University Pantheon Sorbonne (Paris). He has worked as an architect in the USA as well as France, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and the French West Indies.
Free and open to the public.
