Exhibition

An exhibition, in the most general sense, is an organized presentation and display of a selection of items. In practice, exhibitions usually occur within a cultural or educational setting such as a m

Our contemporary condition, governed by the abstract apparatus of the capitalist market, demands a critical reading of the distribution, ownership, and use of common resources, especially on an island that has experienced a long history of privatization stemming from enclosure. Manor Lessons, the third investigation into what laba has termed “environmental objects,” looks at how the manor house can be used as a testing ground to reassess Britain’s complex and ongoing relationship to the countryside. As the most rural region of one of the more densely populated countries in Europe, the South West of England reflects all the absurdities of a globalized country under pressure to develop economically, physically, and environmentally. Highly protected landscapes, both natural and composed, sit as the backdrop to historic seats of political power, while sites of intense production are neatly concealed behind natural veils. This publication asks what lessons can be learned from the multi-layered history of the Manorial System, whose forgotten feudalistic origins were once rooted in the idea of the land not as private property but as common ground.

FEZ Lessons

Tiago Geada Trigo e Duarte Choça, Harry Gugger

The infamous Scramble for Africa at the turn of the twentieth century disrupted the entire African continent with enduring repercussions. Morocco—standing at a geographical crossroads between Sub-Saharan Africa, the Maghrebi Arab-Muslim world, and Mediterranean Europe—has ever since struggled to withstand the resulting cultural and sociopolitical clashes. Fez Lessons: Industrious Habitat investigates how these clashes have marked the socioeconomic structure and the urban fabric of Fez and whether or not it offers alternative and relevant means of human association and community. Alongside a growing stream of large-scale international investment, the constant enticement of tourism, and a worldwide revival of nationalism, we are looking for tiny cues, nagging doubts, and signs of the fusion between form and life, raising questions about identity, authenticity, tradition, the globalization of culture, and the use of local resources.

PORTUGAL Lessons

Harry Gugger

The environment is a space that surrounds, encloses, encircles. The object is a thing that limits a place and a point of view. To think of architecture as an “environmental object” means to question this dynamic of separation and imagine a discipline that amplifies its context, attunes to it and renders it conscious. Portugal Lessons: Environmental Objects turns to Portugal’s history for traces of a design contextualism that can help us move beyond architecture as the foreground of nature. Based on a recent research program at EPFL’s Laboratory Basel (laba), it speculates that, if ecology means the “study of the house” (from the Greek oikos, “house” and -logia, “study of”), it must also mean the practice of thinking the house. Who do we live with? Who/what do we extend our hospitality to? How permeable should our walls be? How do we organize life on a damaged planet? In our age of human-induced climate change, we must reassess our forms of life and our forms of building.
