Abstract

This presentation explores the life, work, and philosophy of a Hungarian-born designer and architect: Marcel Breuer (1902-1981). Breuer, a former student and teacher of the Bauhaus, escaped a war-tormented Europe and he not only found refuge in the United States, but also an opportunity to turn his artistic aspirations into an internationally recognized and successful architectural practice. Architecture for Breuer meant solving social, economic, and functional needs of the commissioner and the public. However, this presentation will also illuminate Breuer’s unique architectural philosophy, which gave his buildings a profoundly meditative artistic quality; his building were memorials and inward-facing shelters that guarded against the echoes of the war.

We look forward to seeing you there!
