NAiM / Bureau Europa presents Alison & Peter Smithson, The Art of Inhabitation

The exhibition ‘Alison & Peter Smithson, The Art of Inhabitation’ shows the work of Alison (1928-1993) and Peter (1923-2003) Smithson, the English architecture couple being among the most prominent and controversial architects of the latter half of the twentieth century. The exhibition shows the Smithsons’ ideas on private housing: a place the inhabitants should be able to appropriate. The spaces within the house should accommodate to individual changes and patterns of use. Original drawings, numerous photographs and purpose-built scale models will show various projects as well as the collages Alison Smithson made as anthropological forms studies. ‘The Art of Inhabitation’ is the first result of the long-term cooperation between Delft University of Technology and NAiM/Bureau Europa and is compiled by Max Risselada, professor emeritus of the faculty of Architecture of the Delft University of Technology.
