POSTPONED - ARTalk - Dynamic Architecture: The Spaces In Between with Peter Bachmann

This ARTalk is being postponed and rescheduled for Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 2 pm.

Dynamic Architecture: The Spaces In Between

Peter G. Bachmann, JCJ Architecture Principal and firm-wide leader for Institutional Projects, will give a slide-illustrated tour through examples of contemporary and historic architecture concentrating on the experiential aspects of design originally on December 1 @ 2 pm and now rescheduled for January 12 @ 2 pm at the Ridgefield Library.

He will focus on how architecture and urban planning can change our perception of space; how sound light, and touch can help us understand our place in the world, building on the idea that our experiences of the world and the buildings in it fully engage with our senses. He will also draw analogies to the other arts as they relate to the experience of place. 

For example, Bachmann will talk about the range of spatial and sound qualities one experiences while walking through the grand and intimate spaces found in New York City’s beautifully restored and historic Grand Central Station. This presentation & discussion will help participants experience architecture, and maybe even the other arts, more fully by tuning into elements that go beyond the materials themselves.

Peter G. Bachmann, AIA, is an architect with over 30 years of experience managing design projects. He has a keen interest in creating space that fosters human connectivity and interaction. A singer in his spare time, Peter is interested in the connection between acoustical qualities and place making.
