Born in Hungary in 1923, Yona Friedman has spent over 60 years reconsidering architecture and specifically the way we live together as a society.
His holistic thinking resonates today with many major concerns such as dwindling natural resources, overpopulation, poverty, ecological issues and remodelling of homes and landscapes.
Yona Friedman is respected not only in architecture but also in contemporary art. He has developed the notion of feasible Utopias which span both fields, just one of several key ideas he spreads through his work, writing and lectures. For example, the first of his theoretical works, Mobile Architecture, was published in 1958. In it he posits that each person should be allowed to adapt their living space according to their needs and resources.
