To Interpret architecture: curatorship as a formational practice

Abstract

Uncommon in Brazil, architectural exhibitions offer opportunities for interpretation of specific works, which depend on curative action. The article traces a brief evaluation of the conditions of production of these exhibitions in large US centers with the Brazilian precariousness, a decisive limit so that the intellectual capacity installed here can produce samples of great relevance. It highlights the author’s reflections on his practice in curating architectural exhibitions at the Casa de Vidro, home of the Bardi Institute and the challenges of exposing items from the collection within a space designed and lived by the couple Lina and Pietro.
