Nelson: el arquitecto del hogar: arquitectura y mobiliario

En contacto con las piezas de Nelson entenderemos la significación y las implicaciones de tres ideas clave en su producción arquitectónica y de mobiliario:
Modularidad – Flexibilidad – Prefabricación

 George Nelson (1908-1986) was, together with Charles & Ray Eames, one of the founding fathers of American modernism. We like to think of George Nelson as "The Creator of Beautiful and Practical Things".

George Nelson was born in Hartford Connecticut in 1908.
He passed away in New York City in 1986.

George Nelson studied Architecture at Yale University, where he graduated in 1928. He also received a bachelor degree in fine arts in 1931. A year later while preparing for the Paris Prize competition he won the Rome prize. With Eliot Noyes, Charles Eames and Walter B. Ford.

George Nelson was part of a generation of architects that found too few projects and turned successfully toward product, graphic and interior design.

Based in Rome he travelled through Europe where he met a number of the modernist pioneers.
