LOOK OR SEE —WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Crossing the temporal divide of two truly great buildings designed and built nearly 500 years apart, this talk explores the way we look at works of art or in this case architecture.

What do we look at and what do we see?

Discussing the Villa Rotonda by Palladio in connection with the Casa da Musica by Rem Koolhaas to sharpen our eye for essentials will be our new German Indus member Nicola Gerber.

Nicola is a UK chartered architect, who has lived, worked and taught in Germany, New York, US and in the UK before moving to Mumbai in 2014.

“Reaching across a seemingly large divide, be it temporal, cultural or conceptual, is one of the challenges of today’s world, and being able to see beyond the obvious visual differences, is the only way to connect.”

Let’s start the New Year not only with new resolutions, but also with a different perspective.
