Borrowed

The project examines how architectural design is based on borrowed methods and techniques. We invent nothing but we hone, develop and improve on a borrowed world.

Borrowed presents examples of the disciplines involved in architectural design. We do not buy or manufacture anything; everything in the exhibition is borrowed. We lay a floor of borrowed carpets, thereby defining a space in the exhibition that is open and invites being furnished and visited. You walk onto the carpet as you enter a room and sense how sounds and feelings change. We provide the ‘space’ with different elements, each telling a story about the disciplines involved, thereby underlining the
architectural design method and its results.
