EXPO | Chronograms of Architecture
14.05 - 28.09
The exhibition Chronograms of Architecture showcases Jencks’ key diagrams, spanning from 1920 to 2000, along with eight newly commissioned diagrams by 8 teams of contemporary architects, researchers and graphic designers, reflecting on the historical moment that we live in today. While none can possibly present a total account, in their own way they each reveal critical and urgent ways of seeing, understanding, and working in the architectural culture of the present. These eight diagrams—perhaps eight streams of a map of now—provoke questions around the techno-optimism and techno-bureaucracy, feminist spatial practice and racial disparity, the ecological implications and productive conditions of architecture, and circular building strategies and the definition of the discipline.
Chronograms by Pier Vittorio Aureli / Marson Korbi, Mario Carpo / Mark Garcia, Charles L. Davis II / Curry J. Hackett, Lionel Devlieger / Michaël Ghyoot / Adam Przywara / Karen Steukers/ Arne Vande Capelle / Louise Vanhee, Maria Fedorchenko / Yeliz Abdurahman, Urtzi Grau / Francesca Hughes, Charles Jencks, MOULD, and Bryony Roberts / Abriannah Aiken.
The exhibition coincides with an international symposium (13 May, 2pm – 6pm) and is accompanied by a book (published by Spector Books).
The exhibition Chronograms of Architecture is a collaboration between CIVA, e-flux Architecture and the Jencks Foundation at The Cosmic House. The project Chronograms of Architecture originated as a collaboration between the Jencks Foundation at The Cosmic House and e-flux architecture.
