“A nation that can’t make models is a nation that doesn’t understand things, a nation that doesn’t live,” said Bodys Isek Kingelez. He went on to create inventive maquettes for his country, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Though none of his novel structures became actual buildings, Kingelez never stopped believing in the nation-building power of architecture. Join us to discuss his unique vision. Meet at the entrance to Bodys Isek Kingelez: City Dreams, Floor 3.
