connect the dots” exhibits some work of agps architecture, a team
working in Zurich and Los Angeles. The show explores the conceptions,
input, and processes which result in the spaces of built work.
Beginning with a spatial intervention within la galerie d’architecture
of a suspended 16 by 2 meter wall, the rough construction with minimal
structural support is a first hint into the logic of our work.
Mounted onto the wall are fragments of individual projects within the
fields of education, energy, habitation, infrastructure, and landscape
- five contexts that appear and reappear over time. Some of the
fragments reveal the early thinking, others describe details, systems or
deviations. Each provides a point of entry into understanding the work,
and together they form a network of connections.
Projected onto the gallery walls are the built spaces that are the result
of our work. These illustrate in another form the association of ideas in
connecting the dots.
This exhibit is a part of a continuing experiment aiming to view our work
from perspectives other than those expected. In dialog with the book
Another Take, 17 Short Stories on Architecture, we embrace the hidden,
informal, or surprising circumstances that accompany the making and
the use of architecture.
