Synopsis

The theme of this book is architecture exhibitions. The questions are how architecture can be presented in an exhibition, and what kind of information gets commincated. This is important because, unlike exhibitions of painting, the 'real' material can never be put on display. This publication examines the methods that can be used to present, analyze, and awaken curiousity in specific aspects, or focus on particular features of architecture. It gathers together a range of essays by eminent critcs, historians, and architects. Who examines general aspects of exhibiting architecture in a broader context: the history of these exhibitions, the effect of new media, the relationship between design and content, and the social and political contexts involved. Several curators also provide short texts on specific exhibitions.

Essays by Catherine David, Elizabeth Diller, Kristin Feireiss, Daniel Libeskind, Bart Lootsma and Hani Rashid.
