Cranbrook Art Museum - Exhibitions - Raphael Moneo: Recent Architecture (682 words)
Rafael Moneo has designed museums, cathedrals, concert halls and other major structures throughout Europe, the Middle East, Australia and the United States all of which embody a unique relationship between architecture and its surroundings.
Moneo’s approach can be summarized by two guiding principles: an awareness of place which recognizes the primacy of the landscape which outlives buildings and the people that inhabit them, and the active gaze whereby the building orients our attention to new and surpising vistas.
Rafael Moneo: Recent Architecture, 1990-2002 is generously sponsored at Cranbrook by Lila and Gilbert Silverman, with additional support from Keenie and Geoffrey Feiger and Jonathan Holtzman.
