Broschiert. Condition: Sehr gut. Ca. 130 S., illustr. Sehr gutes Ex. - Lucy Bullivant // Space Invaders is an exhibition exploring the portfolios and philosophies of fifteen British architectural practices and studios: David Adjaye, atopia, Block, dECOi, dRMM, East, FAT, Foreign Office Architects, GLP, KDa, muf, Piercy Conner, s…oftroom, s333 and Urban Salon. They have emerged in the last five years as some of the most conceptually advanced of their generation, extending the theory and practice of architecture in a way that demonstrates a profound understanding of its cultural role and communicational possibilities. Extending architecture, that is, beyond the practice of designing buildings into wider forms of social engagement. Building connections between communities, territories, between the past and the/present, between the centres of power, the media and the margins, allowing for difference, replacing hierarchy with something more fluid, interactive and responsive in identity. This approach is revealed in the diverse yet also thematically related processes by which the fifteen practices work on the briefs and projects they undertake. In bringing these groups together for an international touring exhibition, under the title Space Invaders, the curatorial objective has been to make an invasion, an intervention into the critical culture of architecture as a discipline. More than that, it delves into culture in a wider sense, in order to examine the way in which . architecture is attuning itself to our behaviour and needs, social and psychological. This has entailed making a selection of recent work in collaboration with the practices, as well as staging video interviews with them. Space Invaders was an early computer game, and in alluding to this aspect of popular culture, the exhibition promotes the exploratory power of creative play. It also presents specific examples of the impact of computer technology as an architectural instrument in developing design proposals. Space Invaders does not intend to be a show about architectural style in the sense of creating an aesthetic collage for its own sake. Rather, it focuses on the substance of design as a method of making sense of things. Overall, the motivations of its participants offer fertile territory for understanding cultural change, acknowledging, as Graeme Williamson of Block has suggested, how widely architecture draws on their sub-conscious, rather than self-conscious attitudes.
