A Fascination with Forms
The Architecture of Jesús & Ana Tenreiro.
The Department of Architecture, in collaboration with Fundación Espacio, presents the exhibition A Fascination of Forms: The Architecture of Jesús & Ana Tenreiro, dedicated to exploring the work and practice of renowned Venezuelan architects Jesús and Ana Tenreiro.
This exhibition, the first solo show in the United States, revisits three decades of practice, from 1963 until 1994, showcasing nine built and unbuilt projects. The exhibition’s centerpiece is the fabrication of nine scale models produced by members of Fundación Espacio in Caracas and FIU’s architecture students. Additionally, the gallery will show digital drawings of the projects and photographs of the buildings.
Through archival materials, this installation aims to present glimpses of the humanistic aspects of the Tenreiros’ life and practice, as their passion for architecture, philosophy, education, music, and poetry.
Rafael Urbina and the curatorial team present a brief timeline showcasing scanned hand drawings, sketches, and notes. The timeline shows the slow design process, its overlaps between commissions and competitions, the educated practice filled with references, and the spiritual life of Jesús and Ana Tenreiro.
