57 p., num. fig. A very good and clean copy. - From the introduction: Kurt W. Forster: BETWEEN LABYRINTH AND RUNWAY. The 9th International Exhibition of Architecture articulates its theme of metamorphoses in two places and in two distinct ways: the Italian Pavilion invites visitors into the midst of the experience, while the Corderie in the Arsenale propose something of a guided tour through recent work. But let's be clear about both: in no way are we suggesting that there is only one manner to experience or debate the myriad works on exhibition. Experiencing a work means letting go of preconceived ideas and examining not only the work before us but also ourselves. For our tour through recent history, we begin by casting a glance back to 1980, assaying the differences time has wrought between then and now. In doing so, our feelings may be more akin to those experienced in a labyrinth (of time), than on a catapult - all the better, then, to investigate the chief sites of architecture's recent metamorphoses one by one.
