Belluschi stresses
design simplicity
By KEN FRIESEN
Emerald Staff Writer
Pietro Belluschi, dean of the
School of Architecture and Plan
ning at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, gave an informal
talk to about 175 architecture
students and faculty last night in
Lawrence Hall. His impromptu
discussion centered around be
ginning .students finding the key
to simplicity in architecture.
Culture important
Becoming interested in all the
facets of human activities is one
thing the beginnings architect
must do, he said. Another step
in finding simplicity is to have
reached an understanding of the
values of culture, he said.
Above all "you have to attain
culture." This culture will aid in
arriving at the restraint needed
in architecture, he commented.
“Ninety per cent of the architects
lack restraint.” Restraint, he
added, is to bring out only the
important things that should be
conveyed in a design.
After becoming “pretty self
assured in your values," Belluschi
said, the architect is ready to
learn how to make people happy
through his designs. Architecture
must “satisfy the demands of the
spirit."
Architecture leader
Belluschi, a former Portland
architect and educator, will take
part in the Charter Day Convoca
tion today. He is one of three men
who will receive awards for dis
tinguished service to the state.
He is considered a world leader
in c.ontemporary architecture.
Belluschi was introduced by
Walter Gordon, dean of the School
of Architecture at the University.
