\nExhibiting architecture has been a practice used by architects since the beginning of modernity. Lately, it can be considered not only an occasion for displaying end products and bold ideas, but also an appropriate environment and a creative process that allows exploration and learning, questioning, debating within the presence of different levels of encounters between the professionals and the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

The workshop was proposed as a collaboration between UAUIM and UBB teams intended to explore the <\/span>making-of<\/span><\/i> of the exhibition dedicated to disseminating the experiences of the Triplex Confinium project. The coordinators proposed a four-step action: initial proposal for the exhibition, exploring non-architectural tools of research (UBB exercise), debating previous experiences from the curators’ point of view and setting up the exhibition.<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

(STEP) 1. (Day 1, 8th of April) <\/b>An incipient proposal for the exhibition was presented by the teachers at the beginning of the workshop, then tested and adjusted, following <\/span>STEP 2<\/b> and <\/span>STEP 3. <\/b>The proposed strategy of research and implementation revolved around the design & construction of a scale model of the territory determined by Jimbolia and Kikinda. The goal was to understand territorial relations between settlements, industry and national borders. Using the exterior spaces of Terra for the model, we aimed to construct a direct connection between the small scale – minute and material qualities of the region (vegetation, soil type, debris)\u00a0 and the large-scale geometry and fluxes that determine its evolution. In doing so we would look for a synthesis between opposing scales – the material environment that surrounds each individual (small scale) and the abstract environment visible to us only through theory and conceptualisation (large scale). Existing ideas and projects could be tested by being introduced in the logic of the model. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

(STEP) 2. (Day 1 and 2, 8th and 9th of April) <\/b>The UBB exercise presented the most important qualitative research methods and the way these can be used by architects. <\/span>The UBB exercise was intended to train students for specific tools of sociological investigation, but also to create content for the exhibition, according to one of the main topics that emerged as relevant in exhibiting the <\/span>Triplex Confinium Project<\/span><\/i>: networking and mobility. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

(STEP) 3. (Day 3 and 4, 10th and 11th of April)\u00a0 <\/b>Debating the previous experiences from the curators’ point of view shed light on the intricacies and nuances of creating an exhibition. A<\/span> series of short lectures and presentations in which tutors within the Triplex Confinium Project and guests (curators and active actors in the exhibition field) shared their experiences. Starting from several recent curating experiences in Romania, Ilinca P\u0103un-Constantinescu\u2019s lecture emphasized the theoretical essentials in building up an exhibition concept. Daniel Kovacs discussed the Othernity exhibition in the Hungarian pavilion at the last Venice Biennale by raising the important questions in tackling a given topic and adapting it to a specific context. Levente Polyak\u2019s intervention showcased diverse instruments used for documenting and communicating to the public various international research projects, while highlighting key steps for defining the role of the different media. Alexandru Belenyi initiated the discussion around scale, model, installation and public space, and this debate was continued on various study cases by the UAUIM tutors and the students. The main topics emphasized and applied as built-up exercises addressed: <\/span>the significance and the need of clarity in the message to be transmitted to the public, the use of different types of media and content, the importance of adjusting the content and message to a specific public.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
