Lecture: Inside Out, Outside In: Landscape, Architecture and the Getty Villa

Inside Out, Outside In: Landscape, Architecture and the Getty Villa
Thursday April 20, 2006 -- 8 pm
Auditorium, Getty Villa

Wim de Wit, head of Special Collections and Visual Resources at the Getty
Research Institute and co-curator of the exhibition The Getty Villa
Reimagined, will discuss the role of the natural landscape in Machado and
Silvetti's renovation of the Getty Villa. This lecture will explore various
features of Machado and Silvetti's redesign—such as the visitor entry
sequence, the creation of windows and skylights in the Museum, and the
construction of the outdoor theater—that helped link interior and exterior
spaces and redefined the Getty Villa's relationship to the Malibu canyon
site.

Note: Reservations available beginning March 23.
