Iannis Xenakis, Amorgos Island, Greece, 1966-77
OfHouses presents “ Solo Albums ”: ”Iannis Xenakis worked with Le Corbusier on the “Convent of Sainte Marie
de La Tourette” (1956-60) and was the principal architect of the
outstanding “Philips Pavilion” (1958). Xenakis left his master’s atelier
to pursue a successful career as an experimental musical composer; he
never abandoned architecture, but didn’t built much. His “Villa Mâche“
(1966) is one-third corbusian, one-third vernacular and one-third
something else.” (Photos: © Nikos Baskozos, Stathis Kalogeropoulos.)
