UNPINNING ARCHITECTURE

2022

This compelling project delves into the challenges of cultural flattening within museums, particularly when acquiring architectural exhibits from diverse cultures. It aims to break free from the confines of traditional museum displays, rejuvenating decontextualized architectural pieces from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

By relocating them to the Fairmount Waterworks landscape, the project envisions a space that fosters genuine conversations among people, architecture, and cultures. The process, documented and shared through the PMA's educational program, seeks to provoke critical reflections on the societal role of institutional typologies, urging a reevaluation of museums in shaping cultural narratives.
