Are the concepts of Genius Loci and moral sensibilities still essential for understanding and evaluating new architectural projects in today’s liquid-modern world? Archi/Tree/tecture provides a space for reflection and invites visitors to explore the relationship between diverse architectures and urban natures.
The exhibition starts with an installation of an uprooted tree stump as an emotional trigger, embodying the reality of what is lost—both physically and symbolically—when the roots that sustain life are severed. It also presents architectural models of late 20th- and 21st-century projects inspired by the natural environment. The experience is enriched by an audio-visual installation.
