Wallonia-Brussels Architectures is really pleased to invite you to the preview of the exhibition Tendency and Fact that will take place on October 1st at 4PM at Carpinterias de São Lázaro. In presence of Adrien Verschuere from BAUKUNST. 

The exhibition Tendencyand Fact, appropriating a phrasing of Andre Leroi-Gourhan, is dedicated tothe interplay of city and prototype. As expressions of tendency and fact, cityand prototype yield an understanding of architecture as device, constituted byboth the material and the immaterial, the built and the non-built, the humanand non-human. These relations are explored through architecture's visible andinvisible effects, eliciting a reflection on the entanglement of energy,material, and our modes of their perception.

Recent projects from the officeas well as from the research studio at EPFL will establish a constellation thatquestion the performativity of the built environment, its effects on us whichwe commonly consider not to be us. The exhibition is conceived as an attempt tofind a new sensitivity of how we perceive and apprehend architecture and energythrough an interplay of city and prototype, tendency and fact.
