intro

In a time when we know that exponential growth can only lead to a global disaster, what should architecture become?

How can architects cope with a profession that, by serving the population, is at the core of one of the most waste-producing and polluting industries, thus hurting the population?

detritus. is a multiple practice which – through texts, drawings, models, installations,performances, competitions, objects, education & more – playfully navigates this challenging context while seriously investigating the following themes:

moratorium. the only sustainable architecture is the one that solely reuses the pre-existing urban fabric - both physical and social. To be truly resilient, the city of tomorrow must develop within the buildings of yesterday.

performativity. normative built environments are performative, as they embody and crystallize social constructs related to gender, race, age, social classes and more.
Since western behavior and socially induced consumption are the sources of the current environmental deadlock, architects can trigger a paradigm change by reflecting on the spaces they produce.

loopholes. contemporary Swiss legislation is an unfortunate producer of normative buildings and districts, embedded with obsolete social behaviors. We investigate architectural norms through their double identity: as texts, and as the spaces they produce.

counterprojects. Swiss cities, in their never-ending quest for growth and densification, are currently planning on replacing entire districts with new housing developments. We wish to propose counterprojects to those schemes, by implementing housing in current buildings while preserving pre-existing urban fabric and activities.

We wish to resiliently modify, rather than relentlessly replace.

We propose alternatives through various architectural competition, by not respecting briefs.
