The article discusses the dual approach to evolving architectural intelligence, emphasizing both innovative explorations and the critical analysis of architectural history. While modernism celebrated radical designs and new materials, there's equally value in revisiting lesser-known historical practices. The upcoming Venice Biennale exhibition "Projecting Future Heritage" aims to reframe architecture's archive as a living entity, rich with insights that connect past communal practices to inform future designs. Curators advocate for a cohesive architectural record that serves as a foundation for future explorations.
The act of critically revisiting the past helps to uncover lesser-known spatial practices that shape culturally resonant architectural futures, not just chasing novelty.
Archiving architecture is distinct because it transcends traditional archival practices and emphasizes a living knowledge that informs future design and collective memory.
