aión: an eventual architecture
Curated by Andrea Di Stefano |
One should not pose and resolve problems in function
of space but in function of time, writes Bergson.
The Architectural Sector of the first Prague Biennale addresses the
words of the French philosopher as a warning to architects.
Chronos is not the time Bergson refers to. It is Aiòn, the
time of events, of an atopic instant. One that always avoids the present:
in their perpetual becoming things are always missing their place,
they do not take place; therefore it is their eventuality that concerns
architecture. It will not anymore concern states of things but events;
not nouns or adjectives but verbs, not form but formation. Forms of
architecture will dissolve and rather perform flows of matter and
energy. The whole structure of architecture in its most intimate materiality
will degenerate while simultaneously becoming generative.
AIÒN: AN EVENTUAL ARCHITECTURE paradoxically refuses any project
as it corresponds to a chronological action and it launches forward,
towards an ideal future, an ideological present. AIÒN bans
any persistent latent utopian temptation which proposes itself every
time the virtual becomes a representation of a supposedly forthcoming
real and which gets unmasked every time a virtuality gets frozen in
a project and mortified in favour of a presumed new reality.
