	Ceramic Tiles of Italy - Stand CTI by Bernard Tschumi Architects
		Always on the cutting-edge of design and technology, the Italians have commissioned award-winning Bernard Tschumi Architects to use the latest Italian ceramic tiles to create a stunning new institutional exhibit at the center of the Italian Pavilion.
		Over its nineteen-year history, Bernard Tschumi Architects has established itself as a leading architectural firm, with a repertoire of groundbreaking projects that include: the Parc de la Villette in Paris, the Rouen Concert Hall, the Center for Contemporary Arts at le Fresnoy in France, and the School of Architecture in Miami, Florida.
		Tschumi's innovative design will also be seen at the satellite café/newsstand where attendees can stop for an Italian coffee and catch up on the latest news from Italy.

	Parc de la Villette
		Bernard Tschumi's theories on architecture, developed in the 1970's through gallery installations, texts and "advertisements" (left) focused on contemporary society's disjunction between use, form and social values, rendering any relationship between the three to be both impossible and obsolete.
		Tschumi was in charge of planning, in addition to the design of the follies, and superimposed three ordering systems: the points of the follies, the lines of the paths, and the planes of the sport areas.
		The influence of the Constructivists is apparent in the formal qualities of the Parc and Tschumi's desire to upset the traditional aspects of architecture, though he is never explicit of this influence.

	Fred A. Bernstein: Greece's Colossal New Guilt Trip
		Tschumi spent three days in Athens with concerned archaeologists, walking the building's intended site and, as he said, "negotiating the location of every column." Large concrete pipes were installed where the columns will be erected, and the site was filled with sand.
		Tschumi met Neil MacGregor, the director of the British Museum, at a symposium in Brighton, England.
		Tschumi, he is optimistic that the building will serve its purpose."I truly believe that the day the museum is finished, the marbles will return," he said.

	The Uncanny and the Architecture of Deconstruction by Anneleen Masschelein
		Projects and buildings by Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman, Coop Himmelblau and Daniel Libeskind are analysed in order to reveal how contemporary architecture makes use of the uncanny, on the one hand, to criticise traditional architectural narratives, and on the other hand, to express the core of our postmodern condition.
		Not only Coop Himmelblau, but also Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman and a bunch of others expressed both in their programmatic texts and in their building projects the need for an architecture of "discomfort and the unbalancing of expectations" (Tschumi 1977: 214).
		Tschumi destroyed the nineteenth-century notion of a park as a place where one forgets the city.

	Bernard Tschumi at the Architects’ Parthenon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bernard Tshumi tries to produce a building "as precise and pure as the Parthenon would have been 2,500 years ago".
		Bernard Tschumi met one of the great challenges of the third millennium - to build something new in a city so charged with history.
		On piles, he constructed a glass trapeze at the foot of the Acropolis while conserving the almost mathematical purity of the spirit in which the Parthenon was built 2,500 years ago.

		Bernard Tschumi's Event-Cities presents an original selection of his most recent architectural projects, which are at the center of polemics on architecture and cities today.
		Using different modes of notation ranging from rough models to sophisticated computer-generated images and testing various means to inscribe the movement of bodies in space, Tschumi reveals the complexities of the architectural process and the rich texture of architectural events that define the nature of urban reality.
		The selection of Tschumi's main recent projects includes the National Center for Contemporary Arts (Le Fresnoy) in Tourcoing, France; the "inhabited bridges" for the city of Lausanne, Switzerland; the mile-long "airport city" for Osaka, Japan; and a new business and entertainment center in Chartres, France.

	Campus Sports a New Trophy: UC’s New Varsity Village
		It was while sitting in the press box of the old baseball field on campus that architect Bernard Tschumi got the idea to position the University of Cincinnati’s new Richard E. Lindner Athletics Center as a ‘squeeze play’ into the compressed space between the university’s Fifth Third Arena and Nippert Stadium.
		Tschumi was instantly attracted to this unused alley of space because he wanted the new athletics center to have a strong connection to campus life.
		The 236,000 square foot Richard E. Lindner Athletics Center is designed by Tschumi in cooperation with Kim Starr, senior architect with Bernard Tschumi Architects; Mark Thurnauer, senior architect with local firm, glaserworks; Barrett Bamberger, UC project manager; and Ron Kull, university architect.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: America's Worst Architect Is A Marxist (Sort of) by Robert Locke
		Tschumi is head of Columbia University's top-ranked architecture school and a practicing architect with offices in New York and Paris.
		Tschumi's theoretical writings, the basis of his reputation, are a tangled mess that alternately induces dizziness and puzzlement as to whether the author actually knows what philosophy is, or merely heard it described by someone in a bar once and thought it might be neat to try his hand at it some time.
		But since Tschumi's career, which hasn't exactly been spent designing housing projects, casts doubt on the sincerity of his leftist political agenda, it is more likely that this "progressive" politics is just a prop to add some philosophical fizz to an agenda which is, in the end, empty.

	artnet.com: Resource Library: Tschumi, Bernard
		Tschumi advocated a ‘post-humanist’ architecture stressing not only dispersion but also its effect on the entire notion of unified, coherent architectural form.
		Tschumi exhibited drawings in Europe and North America and designed a number of small experimental constructions that he called ‘follies’, playing on the double meaning of the French word folie as a state of mental imbalance and a small pleasure pavilion.
		Tschumi built several of the follies and other facilities, as well as coordinating work by other architects and landscape designers.

	2blowhards.com: Guest Posting -- Salingaros on Tschumi
		Tschumi bears a scar from the 1968 street fighting during the leftist Paris riots.
		Equally telling is the labelling of Tschumi as a terrorist with the following brilliant deduction: Tschumi has a scar received in May '68, May '68 was sortof Marxist, "17 Nov." is Marxist, "17 Nov." is terrorist, therefore by the transative property Tschumi is a terrorist.
		It seems your critique of Tschumi's museum at Athens, is not that it fails to repeat some identifiable elements of design that one might call "classical", or that it fails to reflect some features of the site in modernist idiom, but that it lacks this transformational quality.
