AA Members' exhibition tour of Alberto Cruz: Observation, Act and Form

Join curator Francisco Adriasola for this private tour of the Alberto Cruz: Observation, Act and Form exhibition.

The exhibition displays drawings, sketches and paintings by Chilean architect and academic Alberto Cruz (1917-2013). Shown now for the first time outside Chile, Cruz’s drawings and notebooks offer the clearest manifestation of his radical ideals about education and his colourful aesthetic, which he also expressed in his architectural work.

Alberto Cruz was an architect and architectural theorist who devoted most of his professional life to education. In 1952 he played a seminal role in reinvigorating the School of Architecture of Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, and years later in the creation of the Ciudad Abierta-Amereida (the Open City) at Ritoque. In 1975 he was awarded Chile’s National Architecture Award.

This AA Members' tour follows the event Architectural education across borders with Ingrid Schroder, Mary Ann Steane and Francisco Adriasola that we encourage you to join from 5pm.

Drinks will be served from 6.30pm in the South Jury Room for the AA Members' tour.
