VOLUME #2: In the box | |
|
Volume is a project by AMO + C-LAB + Archis.
Can we do something by doing (almost) nothing? Can we achieve anything by doing too much? Can we do what we need to do, by doing just what is needed? How do we define doing too much, too little? How to think through doing anyway?

TALK ABOUT IT! doing (almost) nothing - in our online forum |
|
| Volume #2's editorial states that 'Doing nothing is almost all right'. Daniel Libeskind's design for Ground Zero and Peter Eisenman's Holocaust
Monument in Berlin are two responses of maximal dimensions, agency, effort
and expense to fill a traumatic absence. Have these architects done too
much? What could have been achieved by doing much less? ==> GO THERE
