Kersten Geers and David Van Severen of OFFICE have been appointed the Kenzo Tange Chair at GSD Harvard for the fall 2019 semester.
This will be the second studio of a series focusing on American Architecture.
After An American Plan, the investigation into simple drawing tools of architecture continues with An American Section. Following up on the notion of American corporate education, it raises a question for Harvard campus: how to embrace the reality of market development, tech startups, medical and biological research centres, without renouncing the collective values of an educational facility. If an architectural ambition can be reduced to the detail of an envelope, then the section seems to be the right tool.
