For free, order here!
Precarious Pavilions unfolded in four phases over the years 2018 – 2019. In four different cities (Ghent, Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven), during four different seasons (summer, autumn, winter, spring), four different artists/collectives responded to the question:
How can we think about architecture —the creation of space— within an unstable world? How can the notion of precarity offer a lens through which to rethink our ways of living and the infrastructure we construct for it?
This publication does not try to offer an analytic report of the four artistic contributions that were created. The objective is rather to create an addition that thinks along the ideas, atmospheres, and characteristics of the different pavilions.
