The Scope of Contemporaneity: Architecture in-between the Prospect of Postproduction and the Space of Exhibition

Abstract

The state of architecture being exhibited and (re)exposed through formats of public display does not present the primary framework or medium of architectural production. Therefore, exhibiting architecture creates a specific form/site of displacement for architecture in which a multifaceted set of meanings and knowledge about architecture as discipline is provoked, forming the platform for re-questioning the relationship between the reference and contemporaneity of architecture.
