 Architect Pitches Aspen Art Museum PlanJapanese architect Shigeru Ban is in Aspen this week to present his design for the proposed new Aspen Art Museum.Ban's two-building design would be built on the site of the former Aspen Youth Center, pending voter approval on Question 1 on Aspen's May 5 ballot. The question authorizes the Aspen City Council to negotiate the sale of the Aspen Youth Center property to the museum. The art museum also has said it would accept a long-term lease. Once called "The Accidental Environmentalist" by The New York Times, Ban is known for his innovative approaches to environmentally sound architecture. Critics cite his penchant for building with low-cost materials, especially paper. Ban has designed 23 structures constructed out of paper tubes - including a school, a bridge and a church.

 In Situ: Architecture and LandscapeIn recent decades "landscape" has taken on an expanded definition in architecture.In the first half of the twentieth century, the architectural avant-garde celebrated autonomy from nature, and architects devised utopian schemes for creating urban realms ex novo, with little consideration for their surroundings. More recently, however, the challenges of a threatened environment and rapidly expanding cities have fostered a revised understanding of landscape. Harmony between the spatial, social, and environmental aspects of human life has become a priority in political thought, and this has had profound reverberations in both architecture and landscape design. "Landscape"-no longer understood merely as nature untouched-now encompasses complex interventions by architects and landscape architects in urban and rural surroundings. In Situ: Architecture and Landscape draws from the rich collection of The Museum of Modern Art to examine the diverse attitudes toward landscape over the last hundred years. event (ended) current design events more info www.mom...
