Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:48:59
Abstract
Architecture ExhibitionsTo exhibit architecture is an oxymoron. In architecture we need many tools to communicate a project to an audience. These evidences of architectural thought are used to “exhibit the architecture.” Images, words and representations transmit ideas, concepts and ideologies and create shared meaning of things, which we will analyze and discuss.
Objective
See course description
Content
Architecture Exhibitions To exhibit architecture is an oxymoron. In architecture we need sketches, drawings, models, plans, scribbles, videos, interviews, and renderings to communicate a project to an audience before and even after it is built. These evidences of architectural thought are used to “exhibit the architecture.” Images, words and representations transmit ideas, concepts and ideologies and create shared meaning of things, which we will analyze and discuss. The object is to provide an imaginative space for the students to examine methods and relations between discourse and medium, context and institutional frameworks that inform representations of architecture in historical and contemporary practices.
