YEREVAN, 13 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. Armenian society still doesn’t know
a lot about Armenian architects living abroad. One of the famous
Armenian architects of the world was Armenian Genocide survivor,
Istanbul-Armenian architect Levon Kyureghian, whose name and
career will definitely find their place in the history of Armenian
architecture. The March 15 exhibition showcasing Levon Kyureghian’s
works at the National Museum-institute of Architecture of the Republic
of Armenia will serve as a good opportunity for Armenian art lovers
to become more familiar with Kyureghian’s life and career.

“The purpose of this exhibition is to reveal the life and career of
gifted Istanbul-Armenian architect Levon Kyureghian that has been
unknown to many to this day. In addition, with this exhibition, we
also want to show that the works of Kyureghian and those of Armenian
architects abroad are located in different parts of the world. They
are an inseparable part of Armenian culture and say a lot about
the potential and creativity of Armenians,” said Director of the
National Museum-Institute of Architecture of the Republic of Armenia
Ashot Grigoryanduring a March 13 press conference, adding that the
opening of Levon Kyureghian’s exhibition will be held at the National
Museum-Institute of Architecture of the Republic of Armenia on March
15 at 15:00.

Levon Kyureghian’s grandson, Italian-Armenian architect, former deputy
mayor of the Italian city of Asolo Armen Kyureghian and current
deputy mayor of Asolo Franco Dalla Rosa have arrived in Armenia to
participate in the exhibition.
