Most readers may be very familiar with Italian architecture lab Cityvision for its thought-provoking architectural ideas competitions for Rome, Venice, New York, and Rio de Janiero (previously on Bustler). Now Cityvision goes traveling and pitches its tent in Los Angeles this March. For the first time abroad, the exhibition Worlds of Cityvision will be on display at Woodbury University's WUHO Gallery from March 6-23.
The show will feature iconic submissions to various Cityvision competitions as well as new work produced specifically for the gallery context. A series of lectures and panel discussions will round off the program.
Worlds of Cityvisions will also see the launch of the new international competition Evolution: the architecture of future mankind, about the future of Beijing featuring a special jury panel comprised of Sou Fujimoto, Greg Lynn, Sanford Kwinter, Eric de Broche des Combes and Ai Weiwei. We'll have more about this competition here on Bustler soon.
Read on for detailed information we've received from Cityvision.
