In 1979 Armajani built a reading house in Lake Placid that is still in use today. Armajani's art is not based on the notion of the creative individual. His work is context-oriented; instead of abstract representations we have the dissection and interpretation of the individual features of a particular local geography. |
| He has exhibited his work both in one-man shows at the Max Protech Gallery in New York, as well as other galleries and museums across the United States and throughout the world. His other permanent constructions include Reading Garden No. 1 in Roanoke, Virginia; Reading House in Lake Placid, New York; The Louis Kahn Lecture Room at the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and NOAA Bridges in Seattle, Washington. next artist list of artists Go to Percent for Art Home Page . |
