Things Around Us: ARCHITECTURE FELLOWS PRESENTATIONS AND EXHIBITION OPENING

Things Around Us departs from a preoccupation with everyday elements and institutions that govern architecture and its production. Such elements are inherently spatial, material, and organizational, and therefore constitutive of the discipline. They are also, importantly, coexistent with social, political, and cultural constructs and other disciplines. Through the analytical investigation and projective exploration of three basic features—plumbing, real property, and parts—the 2018–2019 University of Michigan fellows exhibition aims to articulate some ways in which heteronomy can enrich the discipline. In a wider view, the fellowship projects demonstrate that architecture concerns not only the design of freestanding structures or images, but the vast but precise array of things around us.
