agps

« agps : connect the dots » exhibits some work of agps architecture, a team working in Zurich and Los Angeles. The show explores the conceptions, input, and processes which result in the spaces of built work.

The selected projects operate within the fields of education, energy, habitation, infrastructure, and landscape, five contexts that appear and reappear as ideas are tested over time.

Beginning with a spatial intervention within la galerie d’architecture of a suspended 16 by 2 meter wall, the rough construction with minimal structural support is a first hint into the logic of our work.

Mounted onto the wall are fragments of individual projects. Some reveal the early thinking, others describe details, systems or deviations. All provide a point of entry into understanding the work, and together they form a network of connections.

Projected onto the gallery walls are the built spaces that are the result of our work. These can be considered as the consequences of connecting the dots.

This exhibit is a part of a continuing experiment aiming to view our work from perspectives other than those expected. In dialog with the book Another Take, 17 Short Stories on Architecture, we embrace the hidden, informal, or surprising circumstances that accompany the making and the use of architecture. agps, may 2014
