The Architecture of Edward James
About
The West Dean Visual Arts department will be hosting a talk by Umberto Bellardi Ricci, lecturer at the Architectural Association School of Architecture (London) and Director of the Las Pozas Visiting School (Mexico).
Umberto will discuss a series of experimental workshops based on Edward James’s Surrealist garden outside Xilitla that explore innovative casting techniques developed by James and his workers. He will also discuss Edward James’s activity as an architect and the legacy he left behind in Mexico.
