Exhibition “Unausgesprochenes Wissen / Unspoken Knowledge / Le (savoir) non-dit”
Tacit knowledge is a key characteristic of architecture culture. It plays a central role in the conception, design, construction and appropriation of buildings and cities. It characterizes architectural education, distinguishes the cultures of design offices and typifies the collaborations between different actors, including craftsmen, engineers and architects.
Despite this central role that tacit knowledge assumes in architecture culture, our understanding of it remains limited. Research into tacit architectural knowledge has only recently gained momentum and its specificities still need further exploration. Questions as: What are the roles of tacit knowledge in architecture culture?, How does it complement other forms of knowledge?, and how does it construct cooperative communities across disciplines? still await more nuanced answers.
The exhibition “Unausgesprochenes Wissen/Unspoken Knowledge/Le (savoir) non-dit”, which will run in parallel with the conference “Tacit Knowledge in Architecture”, will explore the tacit dimension in architecture culture through a series of objects, artifacts and installations. From sets of references to augmented VR performance, from physical models to enacted collective practices, this exhibition will display a wide range of objects presented by scholars and architecture practices from across the world, from Japan to Spain, and from Belgium to Australia.
