SUMMARY:COOP HIMMELB(L)AU: Beyond the Blue
DESCRIPTION:  Phone Number: 614-292-3535\n Contact: Ticket Office\n De
	scription: COOP HIMMELB(L)AU: Beyond the Bluebuildings\, ideas about u
	rban planning\, and even the name of this influential Viennese archite
	ctural firm."Coop" signals the firm's identity as a cooperative. "Himm
	elb(l)au" offers the double meanings of "sky blue" (with the "l") and 
	"sky building" (without). Launched in May 1968\, COOP HIMMELB(L)AU has
	 never yielded the radical fervor of its founding moment and consisten
	tly rejected preconceived notions of design across 40 years of exquisi
	te\, experimental plans and constructions. Among its recent projects a
	re the double-cone structure of the new BMW center (BMW Welt) in Munic
	h\, the eye-catching addition to the Akron Art Museum\, and the dramat
	ic headquarters for the European Central Bank in Frankfurt.The Wexner 
	Center is proud to host the U.S. debut of this exhibition from MAK (Au
	strian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art) in Vienna\, one of t
	he world's leading museums of contemporary art and design. In it\, you
	'll have the opportunity to study several projects in depth in large-s
	cale models and to survey small models of many more projects displayed
	 on an oversize model table. Recalling an urban landscape plan\, this 
	display strategy evokes the firm's belief in architecture's need to ad
	dress spatial possibilities\, while also reflecting design principal W
	olf Prix's passionate critique of contemporary urban planning. Choreog
	raphed light and film sequences add to the rich visual experience. Jef
	frey Kipnis\, professor of architecture at Ohio State\, is the exhibit
	ion's consulting curator.Organized by MAK\, Vienna.
