BEGIN AGAIN. FAIL BETTER
Preliminary drawings in architecture
Exhibition from 5.11-2.12.2024
Opening! Monday 4 November 6 p.m.
Introduction by Marco Bakker and Manuel Montenegro
Short addresses On Beginnings by Sophie Delhay, Pier Vittorio Aureli, Jo Taillieu, Catherine Gay, Nicola Braghieri, Charlotte Truwant
Hand-drawing still occupies a central place in architecture. It acts as a reservoir of ideas, a source of inspiration or a playful way to discover images, acting as a distiller of thoughts, and opening the path to self-exploration.
This exhibition highlights the early drawings and sketches that give birth to an idea, whether they relate to a real project or are simply free exploration, aesthetic study, or utopian dream.
Taking its title from a famous quote by Samuel Beckett, the exhibition shows drawing as part of the design process: architects try, fail, try again, fail again, until they begin to move in the direction that will eventually become a building. — or not.
“Ever Tried. Ever Failed. No Matter.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
Samuel Beckett
