ABOUT

This guided tour of the Pavilion Le Corbusier in Zurich is a slightly subversive performance which took place in Septembre 2021 as part of a series of events organized by Annexe. The tour was aiming to present the architecture of the famous Le Corbusier through the analysis of its performative elements. Based on the theories presented in Scénographie du genre, which researches the role domestic space plays in the social construction of gender, the space of the Pavilion is de-constructed into performative elements in order to understand the essence of their role in the construction of identities.

The tour is itself presented as performative, as the movements of the visitors have been carefully choreographed through an axonometric map. This unusual presentation allowed visitors to experiment performativity in space with their own bodies, in a kind of materialization of theoretical texts on gender studies and space.

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 thepre-existing urban fabric - both physical and social. To be truly resilient, the city of tomorrow must develop within the buildings of yesterday.
