Movement: Robert Siegel Architects

Using the filters of movement and ritual in architecture, Robert Siegel’s lecture and exhibit entitled “Movement” explains how the kinetic energy of preschool children, the overlapping and multiple choreographed paths of museum visitors, and the high speed secure processing of vehicles at the threshold to the United States form the basis of his work. The lecture includes animated diagrams, satellite imagery, drawings, and renderings and photographs that chronicle the development of five projects through their research, analysis, and synthesis stages. Each project includes a conceptual approach to sustainable design as well as specific strategies for detailed tectonic development. The exhibition includes high-quality drawings, physical models and digital media content. Projects, both built and conceptual, range in scale from a stainless steel and glass wine cellar to a competition for the 1 million square foot National Museum of Korea.
