At 19:00 Beijing time on June 10th (Thursday), Claudio Silvestrin, the "father of minimalist architectural design", shared the studio's classic works over the years through Yinjispace. With the theme of "Timeless Simplicity", the open class introduced us in detail the design details of the project and so on. At the same time, we also invited two senior translators, Hong Renjie and kulthida, to let everyone understand the content of the course more clearly. At the end of the course, Mr. Claudio Silvestrin also answered the questions of the students in great detail and expressed his gratitude to everyone.
Claudio Silvestrin is a world-famous architect and designer and is known as the “father of minimalist architectural design”. Despite his distinguished position in the architectural world, Claudio Silvestrin prefers to keep a low profile, avoiding the showiness preferred by many at the top of his profession. The same might be said about his projects which, rather than indulging in the spectacular and hyper-ornate, are understated affairs, serene and meditative.
Claudio Silvestrin was born in 1954, studied under A.G. Fronzoni in Milan and at the Architectural Association in London. Claudio Silvestrin’s interest in philosophy, his vision, his integrity, clarity of mind, inventiveness and concern for details are reflected in his distinctive architecture: austere but not extreme, contemporary yet timeless, calming but not ascetic, strong but not intimidating, elegant but not ostentatious, simple but not soulless.He believes that architecture is a kind of poetry that expresses emotion through space and materials; uses art to present the philosophy of architecture and the soul of the brand. The classic and timeless design is the architectural aesthetic of Claudio Silvestrin, which combines the philosophy and elegance of the brand with architecture and art.
