Seemingly immobile and durable, architecture remains a challenge in the modern world of collecting and exhibiting. From the late eighteenth century onward, divergent conventions of display have been confl ated with urgent discussions of how material culture is handed down, distributed, appropriated, and evaluated. Place and Displacement: Exhibiting Architecture investigates historical and contemporary practices of displaying architecture, whether in full scale or as fragments, models, or two-dimensional representations. Exploring questions of circulation and temporality, issues of institution and canon, and the discourse and politics of architectural spaces on exhibit, the book's essays discuss the ambiguous status of architecture as an object of display. Contributions from leading scholars in the new research field of architectural exhibitions reveal the centrality of the exhibition in defining and redefining the notion of architecture and its history.

Economy of means is an aesthetic category as well as a design tool. It makes it possible to imagine and evaluate results. It is at the core of any relevant design, whatever the medium. In its usual meaning, it signifies using as few means as possible to reach a specific goal. Beyond this, one can link it to any attitude based on a critical approach to the means used to create something. Economy of means has as much to do with the process as it does with the results. It is an investigation of form in all its dimensions. Form is the horizon of any human activity pushed to a high level of accomplishment. Economy of means is the DNA of good forms. Architecture is defining the good form for a building. Using few and carefully surveyed means enables architects to give meaning and intelligibility to their buildings.This exhibition, part of the Lisbon Triennale under the theme The Poetics of Reason, seeks to contribute to the definition of the specificity of architectural rationality, as do the four other that make up the event. Each of its first four sections shows a specific regime of economy of means. Economy of repetition leads to typology and interest in ordinary architecture and the city. Economy of void leads to the invention of space. Economy of measurements leads to surreal poetics and mass housing. Economy of material leads to the fantasised possibility of building the whole Earth. Economy of procedures expands the limits of architecture. Economy of means is the condition of possibility for architecture to be able to speak its own language under any superimposed vocabulary. Measure, rhythm, repetition, type, exception, system, order, geometry, analogy are some of its main words; economy of means is the grammar; poetics of reason is the result.

Published on the occasion of the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale, this book offers an in-depth look at the exhibition of the Japanese Pavilion. Rather than attempt to formulate a vehicle that intends to convey some overarching narrative or slogan, it instead examines a variety of aspects related to individual struggles in the engagement with conditions and issues that we are confronting today. Though this fight may be in its infancy, the group of works presented in the exhibition has the latent potential to serve as a basis for social change. It takes the Japanese character ‘en’ as its basis, the meaning of which can shift between “fortuitous encounters” and “edge” or “margin”.

'De presentatie - anno 1989 - van een overzicht van zeventig jaar sovjet architectuur is een evenement dat op vele manieren geïnterpreteerd kan worden. Als verwijzing naar de culturele veranderingen die de laatste jaren in de Sovjet Unie te zien zijn, is de tentoonstelling typerend voor de bestaande uitwisselingsmogelijkheden en dus een actuele momentopname. Tegelijk valt op dat de westers georiënteerde beschouwer een ware ontdekkingsreis door een voor hem onbekend tijdsconcept wordt geboden. Een begrip dat daarbij centraal staat is de (dis-)continuïteit van de geschiedenis.'
