Emilio Ambasz (born June 13, 1943, in Resistencia, Chaco, Argentina) is an Argentinian-US architect and award-winning industrial designer. From 1969 to 1976 he was Curator of Design at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York. Ambasz has been labeled as "the father, poet, and prophet" of the green architecture by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
Ambasz's trademark style is a combination of buildings and gardens, which he describes as 'green over grey'.[1] He bucked the trends of the 1970s, hiding his buildings under grass or putting them on boats.[1]
Ambasz reconciles "technology and primitivism[2]" (Terence Riley, former director of the Department of Architecture at MoMA, NY), is "creator of sophisticated earthly paradises[3]" (A. Mendini), and his poetic research merges the natural and artificial: "It is an ethical obligation: to demonstrate that another future is possible. To affirm a different model of life to avoid perpetuating the present.[4]"
The MOMA established in 2020 the Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and the Natural Environment. Curator, writer, and educator, Carson Chan was appointed as its first director.
