The Room of Architectural Representation



It may be redundant to say that a certain field of production is at crossroads in contemporary life, particularly those related to artistic output. All fields are subject to ongoing transformations, their relevance and pertinence questioned constantly. I went into the 2010 Venice Biennale with a certain question: with widespread access to architectural imagery, is architect ural photography still relevant today within the exhibition space?

Here I present two short texts: the first is a description of my ongoing project of a system intended to manipulate architectural representation. This system is being developed firstly as a prototype and will later evolve into a operative model. Research conducted on the first three months of the course, as well as observations from visited exhibitions, contributed to the modeling of this system.
