Bernard Tschumi delivers a lecture on February 9, 2023 at Miami FIU’s School of Architecture to celebrate its founding and the building that he designed after an international competition in 1999. The school is a combination of five buildings interconnected by walkways, bridges, and courtyards to foster interaction among students and faculty. Rectilinear volumes made of precast concrete panels contrast with twisted volumes clad in colorful ceramic tiles. The circulation spaces, along with the visual and material juxtapositions, help contribute to a dynamic environment for studying architecture.

Bernard Tschumi Architects is featured in many articles in Dezeen’s series examining the legacy of the 1988 Deconstructivist Architecture exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The influential show with projects by Tschumi, Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenman, Daniel Libeskind, Frank Gehry, and Coop Himmelb(l)au introduced a group of radical designers who shared not so much a style as a dissatisfaction with the status quo and an interest in the 20th-century avant-garde. Dezeen features numerous interviews with several of the original architects.

In conjunction with the opening of spaces for circus arts located in the northwest of the Parc de la Villette (1982-1998), Bernard Tschumi Architects designed a ticket tent situated on the podium of Folie L4 (originally a music venue). The tent needed to have an iconic presence and meet strict functional and budgetary requirements, while taking into account contextual constraints.

The HyperTent is the smallest project ever carried out by Bernard Tschumi Architects.

A retrospective exhibition of the work of Jean Tschumi (1904-1962) opened in Paris at the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine on May 12th and will remain on view through September 19th. The exhibition of this master architect and designer, now considered a critical link in the transmission of International Style modernism from the United States to Europe in the 1950s and 60s, is made possible by a gift of over 300 drawings by Jean Tschumi to the museum by his son, Bernard Tschumi. The exhibition was realized under the direction of Stéphanie Quantin-Biancalani and Jean-Baptiste Minnaert.

Bernard Tschumi contributes to Superstudio Migrazioni, a major exhibition and catalogue on the work of the radical Italian group presented by CIVA (Brussels). As part of the publication, an interview with Tschumi by curators Emmanuelle Chiappone-Piriou and Aurélien Vernant charts the cultural context and influence of Superstudio, from post-1968 attitudes towards the city and discipline to artistic cross-pollinations.
