Haim Dotan:
Poetry & Architectural Philosophy from the Israeli Pavilion Architect
Israeli Pavilion architect
Haim Dotan joins us for a discussion of poetry, photography,
architecture, new urban design, philosophy and new visions, ecology -- and
above all, about the dialog between human and nature, human and human in the
crowded 21st century. Haim will
read from his book of poetry, "After the Rains" and show his nature photographs
of architectural visions and philosophy.
Haim's two latest works, "After the Rain"
and "Echo in the Desert", on architectural philosophy, are in Chinese, English
and Hebrew. This, he says, "is a
tribute to my late mother, who was born in Shanghai, to my grandparents who
lived in Shanghai, and to China and the Chinese people who saved my family's
lives."
