Extreme Eurasia

While in Aoyama today, I stopped at Spiral and enjoyed the hell out of the current exhibition they have on: “Extreme Eurasia Transcontinental Architectural Dialogues”

Event held in association with the Spanish pavillion in Aichi Expo 2005, it is an experiment of transcontinental dialogue around the architectural scenes of Spain and Japan. Ten modern architects under the age of 45 were picked in each country and the 10 pairs prepared 10 architectural installations. (TAB)

There’s loads of video presentations to enjoy, with interesting installations that’ll keep you busy for a while, and lots of bilingual reading material as well. I really loved the videos by Atelier Bow-Wow, showing their “pet architecture” observations. You have until July 24 to see this, and you should make it a point to do so.
