Article: On Archeaology

07 / 21 / 2014 | PUBLICATIONS

Architecture Review Asia Pacific publishes an issue on 'Elements' with an article by PRODUCTORA entitled 'On Archeaology'. A fragment from the text: '... Our appreciation for the archaeology of architecture – and therefore also of archaeology as such- has to do with the very simple fact that this specific discipline (which is, just like architecture, simultaneously a science and a humanity) is entirely focussed on the physical presence of objects. Archaeology –defined in dictionaries as 'the study of material culture'- is therefore also more relevant for pre-history than for history, since the advent of recorded chronicles have displaced to a large amount this urgency of matter. If we consider the elemental part of archaeology, the excavation or the 'dig' (and we leave the speculative interpretations momentarily out) we are simply confronted with the disclosure of objects scattered in space. A numeric tri-dimensional account of items located into the earths crust. Archaeology, in a first instance, is history without words, buildings without rhetoric, space without program. It is architecture as mere matter, retained in a tri-dimensional matrix of dirt. … ' (text: Wonne Ickx). AR135-Elements (Architectural Review Asia Pacific), June 2014, Editor: Michael Holt
