The Ornaments of the Post-Anthropocene
The Academy of Arts Architecture and Design in Prague (CZ)
Smooth surfaces and glazed facades represented the challenges of modernist architecture. Architecture without ornaments or, as defined by Beatriz Colomina, “X-ray” architecture now faces the challenges of the post-Anthropocene. These are buildings not inhabited by people but by machines; built to produce, share, reorganize or store. It’s architecture without daylight, facades without windows, and floors without stairs. How do architects respond to the emerging challenges of the new era and their environment? The exhibition will present previously rejected ornaments as integrated parts of several projects designed for or by the machines.
