Polycephaly
Vienna, 2019
Thanks to the emergence
of concepts such as Anthropocene linked to the Climate Crisis, or to the higher
relevance of technology in all spheres of our daily routines, or to the
implosion of concepts such as gender, it seems that it no longer makes sense to
continue working from the construction of reality through binary relationships
(nature-culture, man-woman, rational-irrational…). Architecture, as a practice
with a main role in the construction of our societies, cannot ignore these
issues.
The proposal is based on indistinct work with different kinds of materialities that are mediated through the disciplinary knowledge of structure and construction and the contribution of contemporary technology.
The exhibition is organized through the occupation of the two main rooms of the gallery. The main room is thought of as a discussion place where to debate these proposed ideas with a soft floor and a lightweight structure chandelier that gives a pink environment to the place. The second room builds a natural-cultural installation where we can amplify the perception of some elements thanks to technological devices.
