Long before any eco-friendly trend ever existed, an architect who is as revolutionary as he is unorthodox questioned the standards of architecture and placed the landscape and nature in the spotlight. Lee offers a vivid portrait of his talent and audacity.
An Olympic gymnast, sublime pianist, and plastic artist, he designs fashion, jewelry, and even the china used in his own wedding… Eugene Tssui could certainly be defined as a Renaissance man. But the portrait his Californian neighbor Kyung Lee makes of him is more like the one of a man who comes from the future. Tssui’s ideas on architecture –his main field of work, sadly for that professional establishment– are so advanced and groundbreaking that almost none of his projects –inspired in models from nature like water bears or termite nests– ever got constructed. His latest architectonic fantasy, however, appears to have found unexpected allies at Mount Shasta, the small mountain community where he plans to build it. AM
