Exhbition: A minor Architecture
Minor genres have often been used to explore new experimental paths in regard to any kind of creative practice. This may be due to its material immediacy, its flexibility and availability to address emerging issues, and its possible separation from hegemonic themes and formats of the time; thus, minor practices have not only contributed to the development of new independent means of practicing, but at the same time have contributed towards the important renovation of existing disciplines
A Minor Architecture shows fragments of the work from a select group of European offices founded in the first decade of the twenty-first century; offices in which small private commissions—generally understood as “minor commissions”— have been relevant for the articulation of their own independent voice within contemporary architectural discourses. Conditioned by the mundane constrains of small commissions, these practices have developed highly situated experiments to interrogate contexts, regulations, typological and compositional arrangements, and the limits between the technological and the artisanal, whilst at the same time questioning, if not exploiting, the many preconceptions and assumptions prevalent in the architectural profession today.
