PETRA GIPP:
“The Voice of the Body”_
Rensselaer School of Architecture continues its Fall 2021 Lecture Series tomorrow Thursday, October 28th at noon with the online lecture “The Voice of the Body” by architect Petra Gipp.
Petra Gipp is an architect based in Stockholm and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. She studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts in Copenhagen.
In 2018 she founded Petra Gripp Studio with partners Jonas Hesse and Emil Bäckström. The studio’s work seeks to seamlessly blend architectural and sculptural expression, while the approach is one of sensitivity to location, light, and volume. Among the studio’s most well-known works are the award-winning Kivik Art Centre; and the inventor’s studio The Cathedral (nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Prize in 2015).
In 2016 Petra Gipp was highlighted by Architizer as one of the “26 women who changed architecture“. Gipp has exhibited widely, and has presented work at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2012, 2014 and 2016. In Spring 2018 she opened a solo exhibition at Stockholm’s Liljevalchs Art Museum. Her book monograph passage/shaft/niche/lining/nave – wandering(Arvinius + Orfeus, 2018) was awarded the Swedish Art Book Prize.
