Architecture Is Experimentation

Architecture Is Experimentation Should architecture be experimentation? And if so-and this need is more urgent than ever-how can we redefine architects as lifelong explorers, as they were at the time of the Bauhaus? This publication introduces the powerful positions of the 2023 laureates, who engage themselves in thinking and doing architecture otherwise and in teaching this to future architects by example and experience: Benedetta Tagliabue, Barcelona, Xu Tiantian, Beijing, and Simon Teyssou, Le Rouget, are architects who experiment with participatory processes in situated projects, through structural and material innovations with the people. Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, architect and researcher from Copenhagen, composes and tests the biopolymeric building materials of the future. And the Amsterdam-based architect and artist Ronald Rietveld and Erik Rietveld, philosopher, experiment with the existing to give new meaning to our historical contexts.
