For the first time the father and son team of Haralamb Georgescu, Architect and his son Christopher Georgesco, Sculptor will appear together at the now Famous "Pasinetti Residence" on Summitridge in Beverly Hills. This Modern Mid Century Gem was saved by the Willow Glen Partners and the restoration with it's 21st Century updates was completed with the utmost consideration of the architect Haralamb Georgescu's vision of function and space.

Two sculptures "Triangulation" and "Camber Right" by the Architects son Christopher Georgesco were installed at the Residence formally designed and built for noted Italian writer Pierre Pasinetti by Haralamb Georgerscu in 1958.

The sculptures were installed in time for the upcoming photo shoot of the residence by noted photographer Julius Schulman in March of 2009. The house was the catalyst for a revival of Haralamb Georgescu's work 30 years after his passing. The Getty Research Institute became involved in the project and part of the architects archives were acquired by the Getty, the rest archives are now at the Mincu University in Bucharest, Romania.

By chance a exhibition of Haralamb Georgescu's work was planed last May 2008 for his Centennial Birthday, in his home country of Bucharest Romania by The Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism. Georgescu was forced to flee Romania in 1947 at the height of his carrier due to pressure of the Communist Regime. The opening reception was attended by Wim de Wit, Head of Special Collections and Visual Resources / Curator of Architectural Collections at The Getty Research Institute, Tim Braseth from Willow Glen Partners, Jeffrey Head, writer and Historian and Christopher Georgesco the Architects Son. All spoke at the Symposium which followed the exhibition.



Today he is considered one Romania's most important Modernist Architects and many of his Landmark Buildings have survived 2 wars and are in existence today. A Museum in Bucharest is currently being erected in memory of the architect titled "The Haralamb Georgescu, Frank Loyd Wright Museum of Art and Architecture". Although Georgescu built dozens of buildings in America since 1947 he never received the recognition of his Mid Century Contemporaries. He is now getting affirmation after 30 years since his passing receiving the attention he has deserved. The Pasinetti residence is the first Haralamb Georgescu residence to be collaborated with his son Christopher Georgesco / Sculptor.
