The Production of Architectural Imagery Via Exhibitions: Three Scholars Show Their Work At Ar/Ge Kunst, Bolzano

Abstract

Both the so-called academic research and the field research related to the production of an exhibition might have a relevant influence not only on the discourse around architecture but also on the production of an architectural imagery and on architecture itself. Starting from the position of the three scholars/artists/architects that conducted their research at ar/ge kunst in Bolzano –on the border between speculative and spatial production– between 2016 and 2018, the aim of this paper is to investigate their proposals in order to bring to light the undeniable relationship between academic assumptions and explorations concerned with the production of an architectural imagery via an exhibition.
