Abstract

Highlighting the need for more time and dedication to site before designing and building, this on-going work formalizes such an approach through personal performances in the wild, where a slow and observant gaze become crucial. Traversing remote territories without a tent or sleeping bag, forces the senses to “read” the landscape more acutely, to slow down, in search for a night shelter from cold, sun, rain and wind. In place of “designing” a shelter, the works explore an alternative, that is, “finding” a shelter. As a parallel discourse, it also hopes to convey the fragility of desolate environments, in constant threat from the urbanization of the wild. The exhibit is a selection of self-portraits from solo climbs and journeys in Greenland, Atacama, Jotunheimen and the
Pyrenees.

Andet	In the group exhibition Slow Down, we offer an architectural defense of these unappreciated dispositions, tracing the new rhythms, frictions, and imaginaries of the great dizzying deceleration that lies ahead.<br/><br/>Tuning into planetary systems and reconsidering urban rituals, we reimagine infrastructural alternatives: an architecture of signal-jammers forms silent sanctuaries, a mobile pavilion performs rainwater harvesting as public event, and a deep dive into Køge Bugt, uncovering the slow violence of marine sand extraction.
