Part of the program commemorating its 30th anniversary, the FRAC Centre invited Bernard Tschumi to design an exhibition from the museum collections, presented at the FRAC Abattoirs in Toulouse in fall 2013 and the FRAC Centre in Orléans starting in May 2014.
Designed by Bernard Tschumi as a series of manifestos on the city and the radical architecture of our time, the exhibition and its catalog start with a simple observation: there can be no architecture without a concept or overarching idea that drives it: architecture is the materialization of concepts. Each of the artists presented presents at one point a clear concept, a vision of the city and architecture today. Concept precedes form.
