Constructing dialogues: On architectural potentials of montage

Publications: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

The concept of montage is proposed as a driver for establishing heterogeneous, open and dynamic new-industrial architecture.
Drawing parallels between the intense industrialization that occurred in Denmark in the 1960s and current scenarios of IT-based production methods, montage is unfolded both as an aesthetic strategy and a technical procedure, taking inspiration from both visual arts and architecture.
Montage is presented as a means of creating active, architectural interactions - material as well as in terms of meaning - not only in the realm of industrialization but also in the intersection between industrial production methods and on-site, craft-based fields of construction.
