Opening later this month at the Louise T Blouin Foundation in London, this extensive exhibition highlights the distinctive and dynamic style of this well known architect. Still the youngest recipient of the Pritzker Prize (considered architecture’s highest accolade), Meier has been involved in projects such as the L.A. Getty Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona. Exploiting the natural light and space in which the buildings stand, Meier’s architecture evokes ‘spaces of aesthetic illumination and enlightened cultural values’.

Alongside his architectural work, Meier has been working on ceramics, sculpture, collages, photography, furniture and product design all ofwhich are showcased in this retrospective. The collages in particular are of note; a record of his travels, they comprise papers, tickets and cuttings collected on his travels, which express space and pivotal moments. The sculptural pieces made from junk metal bring to mind skeletons of some weird and unnatural animals from another time. Coupled with his art and architecture, these establish Meier’s unparalleled versatility as a designer. Well worth a visit, and if you have any thoughts on his architecture, why not join in with others who are talking about his latest projects (in New York) here.
