Architectural exhibitions inherently operate within a paradox: they present materials intrinsically tied to the reality of constructed buildings, yet the buildings themselves remain absent. Models, drawings, photographs, and digital renderings serve as proxies, offering representational fragments that evoke the essence of the architecture. This absence highlights the exhibition’s mediatory nature, functioning as a space where tangible and conceptual aspects of architecture converge. The exhibited elements—plans, materials, and documentation—are not the architecture but reflections of its existence and potentiality. Consequently, such exhibitions compel audiences to engage in imaginative reconstruction, bridging the gap between representation and realization. This phenomenon underscores the exhibition’s dual role as both an autonomous artistic form and a didactic exploration of built environments.
