Jean Tschumi Remembered

The work of Jean Tschumi (1904-1962) is celebrated in Orleans, France. An exhibition prepared by Jacques Gubler and curated by Elke Mittmann opens at the Maison de l’Architecture in Orleans, with a lecture by Jacques Gubler at the Orleans Mediatheque. A colloquium on the preservation of 20th century architecture will take place on June 12, moderated by Richard Scoffier with Dominique Lyon, Francis Soler, Bernard Tschumi and Docomomo activist Agnes Cailliau; it will discuss possible scenarios of reuse of Jean Tschumi’s first building, the Sandoz Laboratories in Orleans (1948-1953).
