LES PAYSAGES DE LA COLLECTION

LES PAYSAGES DE LA COLLECTION
CONSTANT, NEW BABYLON, 1963

The permanent Temporariness : the Radical, the Utopian and the Poetic.
With Saba Innab
Saturday, 13th January at 3pm
Free entrance

How do we build without a land? How do we build temporariness when it is mutating constantly into permanence?
A juxtaposition between the question "How to build without a land" and the radical work of Constant on New Babylon opens a discussion on the role of architecture in our current time.
