architecture for sale
oct 16. Performance and Exhibition In 2016, Cora Atelier did a residency at SOMA Gallery, where we established ourselves as an architectural and non-architecture practice office. As a way of placing ourselves in the field of visual arts, we asked ourselves about the salable product of architecture and produced a series of drawings/collages of functional spaces (or not) and commercialized these images in different contexts, print fair, vernissage, and craft fair.

We think that above technical specifications, material dimensions, Architecture, and its sale is a visual experience, an image, or a set of images that define the general aspect of the work to be built, of the product to be sold. The objective of this project was to deal ironically with the issue of the production of architecture and consumption of images, the sale of an ideal, often treated in a generic and/or surreal way. We also understand that the production of architecture, in addition to being an onerous job, is often undervalued. The symbolic value per figure/image works ironically with the subversion of values paid for the development of these projects, as it questions the accessibility of services provided to the majority of the population.
