“Sick Architecture” Exhibition, CIVA, Rue de l’Ermitage 55, 1050, Brussels, Belgium _ Conceived by Beatriz Colomina [guest curator, Princeton University], Silvia Franceschini [curator CIVA], Nikolaus Hirsch [artistic director CIVA] _  Assistant curator: Minne De Meyer Engelbeen [CIVA] _ Exhibition Architecture: OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen & Richard Venlet _ 06.05.2022 - 28.08.2022 _ Photos by: Spyros Kaprinis [18.06.2022].

“Architecture and sickness are tightly intertwined. Architectural discourse always weaves itself through theories of body and brain, constructing the architect as a kind of doctor and the client as patient. Architecture has been portrayed as both a form of prevention and cure for thousands of years. With Sick Architecture, CIVA and guest curator Beatriz Colomina (Princeton University) highlight a topic that has shaped our lives since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Hans Hollein, Vulcania, St. Ours-les-Roches, Auvergne, France. 1994-2002         

Situated within extinct volcanoes on an altitude of 1.000 m this complex serves to inform about, educate on and experience the primeval forces of nature and the creation of our planet. It is highly symbolically charged, with an aura of mystery, the descent into the earth—the sketches to forward the idea showed etchings by Gustave Doré of the descent to the center of the earth by Jules Verne and Dante’s “Inferno”. Mostly underground it is approached by a long ramp down towards a metaphorical Volcano—a cone cladded in dark volcanic stone lined inside with golden metal animated by light. Research and conference facilities, IMAX theaters, greenhouses showing the positive effects of volcanism—fertility—and a restaurant with a view complete the complex situated in a nature park. The site is also used for recreation and hiking in an almost uninhabitated landscape. This is a project without precedent addressing feelings and atavistic emotions as well as search for knowledge and answering this task with an architecture of reduction and absoluteness. https://www.hollein.com/eng/Architecture/Nations/France/Vulcania

Venerating Hans Hollein

All this excitement with Vienna and the Quest for the New and I decide to relook at The Austrian Pavilion in Venice by Josef Hoffmann. I had been made to draw it as a student and understand its envelope and corrugation. Later saw an installation by Coop Himmelb(l)au at the art biennale in 94. Today I learnt that the Pavilion is protected as an architectural monument under Italian law. Needless to say, it must possess the geometry of monuments?
