Frida Escobedo in Conversation with Andrew Nolan Davis
Andrew Nolan Davis, second-year student in the Critical, Curatorial and Conceptual Practices Program at Columbia GSAPP, speaks with Mexican Architect Frida Escobedo, whose exhibition \u2018No. 9\u2019 opened at the Arthur Ross Architectural Gallery on October 20, 2017.\nThey discuss the tension between social and historical time, and how that can shape understandings of architecture. Escobedo also touches on her desire to reactivate forgotten spaces, such as in the Hotel Boca Chica, and how the process of making \u2018No. 9\u2019 echoed the creation of the original sculptures.\n\u201cExhibitions and biennials have allowed us to understand architecture in a very different timeframe. When you think about architecture you think about years \u2026 But with these temporary installations you get to see architecture from a different perspective, it's almost like compressing the life of architecture.\u201d \u2014Frida Escobedo\nMore information on Frida Escobedo at http://fridaescobedo.net/pagina_de_inicio.html\nGet the full details of the exhibition at https://www.arch.columbia.edu/exhibitions/63-no-9-an-exhibition-by-frida-escobedo
