Barozzi Veiga Builds a Community of Artists
In the recent public program titled “Permanence and Transformation,” Fabrizio Barozzi and Alberto Veiga, founders of Barcelona-based practice Barozzi Veiga, presented their recent work and discussed how contemporary architecture can “grow from what already exists.”
Grace La, professor and chair of the Department of Architecture, introduced Barozzi and Veiga, who are both currently teaching at the GSD as John C. Portman Design Critics in Architecture. “In projects across Europe and beyond, their buildings respond precisely to specific places while retaining a robust and coherent sense of formal autonomy and identity,” said La.
Barozzi spoke from the podium about projects including Abby Kortrijk in Belgium and Villa AG in Dubai, before joining Veiga and La for a discussion. This video recap highlights Barozzi Veiga’s design for Oolite Arts in Miami, a project that aims to cultivate a community of artists.
