In a world of uniform architecture and standardized housing, Renée Gailhoustet dared to dream differently ….
CASA Vertigo is pleased to invite you to an exhibition talk with Elise Zoetmulder as part of our current exhibition Layers of Living: Renée Gailhoustet ’s (social) housing on November 13 from 17:00. Elise Zoetmulder is interior architect and partner of the Delft office ‘Zoetmulder’’. She wrote an intriguing essay on Gailhoustet ’s work, stating: ‘’Renée Gailhoustet is an unknown to many. But this needs to change: she was a pioneering architect with over 2000 homes to her credit (…), she was also able to realize special social architecture and urban development projects in an activist manner, and where human connection was central.’ Zoetmulder will reflect on Renée Gailhoustet ’s life and oeuvre and discuss her legacy in the context of the current Dutch housing debate. The talk will start at 17:00 in de Trappenzaal, but you are welcome from 16:30 to have a look at the exhibition, together with Elise and the curators.
About the exhibition. Layers of Living invites you to experience the built environment through the eyes of Renée Gailhoustet. To understand her design philosophy anchored in human centrality, in form & geometry, as well as in greenery which intersect and combined to create unique living environments. To see how she approached housing is to see how residents were empowered to shape space, how nature and concrete met in harmony, and how the strictness of geometry was used to create diverse ways of dwelling. It is to see how the built environment can foster community.
