Abstract

Catalogue de l'exposition "Biennale de Paris"montrant la place de choix que l'architecture tient entre toutes les formes de plus en plus diversifiées de la création. L'architecture renaît, elle est oeuvre, elle est lieu, le lieu de la création et le lieu de la présentation de l'oeuvre. Elle est pyramide, Parthénon, Tour de Babel, ou Louvre. Le thème choisi pour cette année 1985 illustre cette dualité, pour ne pas dire l'ambiguité de l'architecture actuelle.

Abstract

Dissects the construction ecology, material geographies, and world-systems of a most modern of modern architectures: the Seagram Building. In doing so, it aims to describe how humans and nature interact with the thin crust of the planet through architecture. In particular, the immense material, energy and labor involved in building require a fresh interpretation that better situates the ecological and social potential of design. The enhancement of a particular building should be inextricable from the enhancement of its world-system and construction ecology. A beautiful building engendered through the vulgarity of uneven exchanges and processes of underdevelopment is no longer a tenable conceit in such a framework. Unless architects begin to describe buildings as terrestrial events and artifacts, architects will to our collective and professional peril continue to operate outside the key environmental dynamics and key political processes of this century.
