La Biennale Di Venezia Phyllis Lambert Golden Lion for Lifetime
la Biennale di Venezia Phyllis Lambert Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement of the 14 th International Architecture Exhibition Venice, May 20 th , 2014 – Phyllis Lambert has been chosen to be the recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement of the 14 th International Architecture Exhibition Fundamentals, this year open to the public for 6 months instead of 3, from June 7 th to November 23 rd 2014. The decision is made by the Board of la Biennale di Venezia, chaired by Paolo Baratta , under Director Rem Koolhaas who presented the following motivation: “Not as an architect, but as a client and custodian, Phyllis Lambert has made a huge contribution to architecture. Without her participation, one of the few realizations in the 20th century of perfection on earth – the Seagram Building in New York – would not have happened. Her creation of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal combines rare vision with rare generosity to preserve crucial episodes of architecture’s heritage and to study them under ideal conditions. Architects make architecture; Phyllis Lambert made architects…”.

Phyllis Lambert and the Love of Architecture
ringen in landgebruik moet je op een continu vlak zien; wanneer we het gezicht van het landschap niet goed krijgen, als een reflectie van verschil- ‘Jeanne d’Architecture’, or: lende gebruikstypen, eindigen we als een architectonisch themapark. Dan moet iedereen een stem hebben in het ontwerpproces, dat in feite al Phyllis Lambert and the Love of begint voordat er een ontwerp is gemaakt – als een project al ooit van de grond komt. Eigenlijk lijkt ‘onderzoek’ een betere beschrijving van zelfs Architecture de toegepaste resultaten van een project, en van de manier waarop deze andere projecten van informatie voorzien. ‘Iedereen’ hier betekent boeren, 56 56 Mark Pimlott 57 landbouwconsulenten, boswachters, hoveniers, pachters, en zelfs (hoewel meestal alleen in retrospect) de ontwerper en opdrachtgever. Geschiedenis moet gezien worden als een nuttige referentie, niet als To the architect who knows of Phyllis Lambert but knows very little een model; het is lastig haar, in haar staat van zorgvuldig gepoetst opper- about her, two facts are likely to serve as outlines of a character sketch: vlak, op enige overtuigende manier aan te passen of te restaureren. Geen first, that she was instrumental in commissioning Ludwig Mies van enkel gebouw op het landgoed is teruggebracht of wordt gebruikt in de der Rohe to design the Seagram Building, the enormously influential staat, waarvoor het oorspronkelijk was bedoeld. Een eenvoudige les van de icon of modern architecture; second, that she was the driving force geschiedenis is dus dat alle oplossingen op hun best provisorisch zijn, de behind the Canadian Centre for Architecture, one of architecture’s eerste stappen in een serie aanpassingen en hergebruik.

The Methods of Mies: Curator Phyllis Lamber's Fascination with Master Ar - Chitect Mies Van Der Rohe Has Lasted a Remarkable Fifty Years
The methods of Mies: curator Phyllis Lamber's fascination with master ar - chitect Mies van der Rohe has lasted a remarkable fifty years. Mies in America, an exhibit celebrating his work on this side of the Atlantic, makes it clear why By Sara J. Angel – Saturday Night June 16, 2001 AS EDGAR BRONFMAN WOULD LATER TELL IT, WERE IT NOT FOR HIS SISTER Phyllis's inspired intervention, the Seagram Building in New York would not have been a modernist masterpiece, but rather a run-of-the-mill office tower, about as noteworthy as the average in - surance-company building. Phyllis Lambert, the daughter of liquor baron Sam Bronfman, was then twenty-seven years old, a recent Vassar College graduate studying art in Paris. Aware of her father's plans to build a corporate headquarters, she asked to see the sketches, and when she did, wrote a letter entreating him to build something more distinguished. He asked her to come back to North America to help commission an architect. The day Lambert met Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, in 1954, she knew he was the one. Dressed in his daily uniform -- a dark, elegant suit -- he said very little, but his language, like everything he built, was assured, uncomplicated, and well-structured. She knew his history -- how, in an - ticipation of his career to come, he'd added his mother's maiden name, "van der Rohe," to his less-than-remarkable "Ludwig," and how he'd received his first major commission at nineteen, in 1905, a house so perfectly executed that Peter Behrens, Germany's most prestigious archi - tect, offered him a position in his office.
