High School Students Interpret Neutra's VDL House with Art

2017-05-19T19:31:00-04:00

Tomorrow evening the Neutra VDL House will host an exhibition of work by high school students (age 16-18) from the Ramon C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts, curated by VAPA high school student Avery Wilcox. Each artwork offers new interpretations of the Neutra VDL House expressed in a variety of mediums - film, ceramic, painting and photography. More importantly these artistic expressions, given the age of the makers, will allow all of us to see this historic house with fresh eyes.

The exhibition will take place tomorrow, May 20, from 5-8pm.

Ain't No Party Like an Archinect Party: Treatise Launch at the VDL House

2015-05-06T16:20:00-04:00

The Cognoscenti Coffee cocktails were flowing (and frothing) at the Neutra VDL House on Saturday May 2nd, as Archinect, the VDL House and the Graham Foundation hosted the book launch of Treatise, a series of publications wherein 14 relatively new design offices explored the question "Why Write Alone?" Featuring work from emerging talents such as Andrew Kovacs, Point Supreme, and SOFTLab, the project is part of a larger mandate to explore creative approaches to architecture, and was initially part of an exhibition featuring over 200 models, images, drawings, and multi-media installations curated by Jimenez Lai in Chicago in January.

Several hours into the party, the stylishly-dressed Lai mounted the gravel strewn median above the courtyard to toast the Graham Foundation for providing the grant that made Treatise possible. He also thanked Archinect's Paul Petrunia for hosting the event, to which over 250 attendees affirmatively R.S.V.P.-ed.
