6.30 p.m.: Interactive exhibition tour with Prof. Berthold Heinrich Penkhues and Marta Director Kathleen Rahn
7.30 p.m.: Slide presentation at the Marta Forum with Prof. Berthold Heinrich Penkues
This special evening in the “City + Vision – Herford Architecture Talks” series is dedicated to Marta architect Frank Gehry—as part of the exhibition Mindset Los Angeles – Frank Gehry und die Cool School. The guest speaker is architect Prof. Berthold Heinrich Penkhues, who worked at Frank Gehry’s firm in the second half of the 1980s. In a one-hour interactive exhibition tour, Penkhues and Marta Director Kathleen Rahn will focus primarily on Gehry’s architectural projects.
In his following presentation at the Marta Forum, Penkhues talks about his work over several years in Venice and Santa Monica, California, with Frank Gehry: From a personal perspective, he illustrates and describes formative experiences from that time. In 1989, Penkhues returned to Kassel, where he founded his own architectural firm and served for five years as a lecturer and research associate at the University of Kassel. In 1994, he was called to the Carolo Wilhelmina Technical University in Braunschweig, where he heads the Institute for Experimental Design (IEX). In 2001, he received the Hessian Culture Prize for his outstanding achievements in architecture, particularly for the museum in Korbach’s old town.
This event is made possible through a partnership with the Association of German Architects (BDA) in East Westphalia-Lippe.
