Carpet Reading: The Emotional Power of Space

As part of the «musæum» project, LFA hosts a pop-up Carpet Reading Club in a room of the former Consulate of Persia. The session focuses on “The Emotional Power of Space” (2023) by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, a study of how surroundings shape our psychological state. We will discuss a fragment featuring 2026 Pritzker Prize laureate Smiljan Radić, exploring his use of physical contrasts and emotional tension in projects like the 2014 Serpentine Pavilion. 14:00–15:00 — Reading Club discussion 13:00–18:00 — Self-guided reading session with curated books from the LFA collection Languages: English and Armenian
