Abstract
This special issue of Architecture and Culture on the ethics, power and politics in the stories of collecting, archiving and displaying architecture media draws attention to curatorial responsibilities in finding the proper placement for architecture collections, and how accessibility, reproducibility and promotion impact the cultural, economic and socio-political role of architecture media. And Yet It Moves questions the relevance of translations from place to place when mobile architecture media moves between offices, buildings, archives, exhibition spaces and websites. How does mobile media generate a dynamic trans-mediated construction and construing, finding renewed significance over time? This is also the subject of the parallel publication to this journal, The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models: From Translating to Archiving, Collecting and Displaying by the same editor (forthcoming). Architect and historian Robin Evans (1944–1993) outlined the imaginative role of the translational gap between drawings and buildings. Yet, translation does not end when buildings are built, ARCHITECTURE AND CULTURE
期刊介绍:
Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
