Out of Gas / Désolé plus d’essence : 1973

Le CCA vient de clôturer une exposition sur les innovations architecturales qui ont suivi la crise de 1973. Cette exposition s’achève sur de lourdes questions qui pèsent sur le devenir de la production architecturale aujourd’hui alors que nous vivons une crise énergétique. Un site en ligne met à disposition les principaux thèmes explorés lors de cette exposition.

“This major exhibition is the first to study the architectural innovation spurred by the 1973 oil crisis, when the value of oil increased exponentially and triggered economic, political, and social upheaval across the world. Featuring over 350 objects including architectural drawings, photographs, books and pamphlets, archival television footage, and historical artefacts, the exhibition maps the global response to the shortage and its relevance to architecture today”
