An archive of forms

In “The Form of Form” exhibition, which proceeds from a potentially infinite repository, three architects build a dialogue that challenges notions of authorship.

Form is a common language that brings together architects from all over the world in a collective conversation. In “The Form of Form” exhibition, which proceeds from a potentially infinite repository, three architects build a dialogue that challenges notions of authorship and the limits of form.

Functioning as a “conversation”, the exhibition’s narrative is developed around a number of spaces that are inspired by examples of architectural designs by Johnston Marklee, Nuno Brandão Costa and Office KGDVS, who are responsible for the exhibition design. Each of the spaces is designed to house content selected from the extensive Socks database.

Organized along twelve interlinked spaces, with each space incorporating images related to a core element, the exhibition defines a continuous seam of works that are directly inter-related, be it through affinity or opposition.
