Belzberg Architects
Emerging Voices 2008
Recorded: March 26, 2008
Santa Monica based Belzberg Architects was founded by Hagy Belzberg in 1997. Exploring “the suppleness of contemporary forms and the character of both natural and synthetic materials,” Belzberg Architects challenges the “efficacy of digital design within the constraints of physical environments in an effort to understand an interesting and possibly unexplored tectonic reality.” Here, Hagy Belzberg presents a series of cultural projects: the Laboratory of Art + Ideas at Belmar Center in Lakewood, CO; the Ahmanson Founders Room at the Los Angeles Music Center; and the interiors of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, CA.
The Architectural League created the annual Emerging Voices lecture series in 1982 to recognize and encourage architects who are beginning to achieve prominence in the profession. The series focuses primarily on built work, at a variety of scales, and is structured to reflect the diversity of contemporary practice–geographically, stylistically, and ideologically.
