AWC 8 – PLACES OF ACCUMULATION
The second iteration of Architecture without Content at EPFL is the eighth incarnation of a studio that started three years ago at Columbia University. Back then it was intended as a study of the Big Box, a big industrial building that can contain many things. Over time, Architecture without Content came to represent an idea of a possible architecture of the perimeter, a pragmatic kind of architecture that remains radical and precise. The first incarnation of Places of Accumulation—entitled Machines —concentrated both on places of production and places of storage. Temporary Residence is in many ways the inverse of Machines. Site and territory are the defining factors for the architectural type.
