Students from the School of Arts and Design represent the University of Greenwich in Marseille exhibition

Representatives from University of Greenwich School of Design joined staff students and alumni from Cambridge School of Art (Anglia Ruskin University) and Marseille Mediterranean School of Arts and Design (ESADMM) in workshopping and mounting an exhibition of responses to le Corbusier’s Modulor. The Modulor is a system of scale le Corbusier devised for his buildings that is based on human proportions, a perfect example of which is found in his building “Unité d’Habitation” in Marseille, where many of the visiting exhibitors, including ourselves, stayed.

The resulting exhibition at Hors les Murs Gallery, Marseille opened on 7th – 22nd November. The University of Greenwich is represented by 2019 March graduate Daniella Yaneva, exhibiting a book and animation titled, “Morphogenesis Man inhabiting Apartment 50, Unité d’Habitation, Marseille”.
