The project proposes an architectural instantiation from the basis of a score, written by the architect, which is then translated into instructions for the construction of the installation itself. The work is a temporary and durational intervention in the courtyard of the Mackey Apartments. Scoring, Building is a new project by architect Michelle Chang that investigates architecture as an allographic art. On View: Saturday, January 18-February 29, 2020 Staging Construction is curated by Jia Yi Gu, M&A Director, with support from the Contemporary Council of M&A (CCMA). Staging Construction takes the form of an experimental installation by Michelle Jaja Chang, alongside electronic music performance by Neil Denari, lectures by Alex Maymind and Tommy Hill, and a participatory workshop with yyyy-mm-dd (Kate Yeh Chiu and François Sabourin). Drawing on seemingly disparate topics, including material specification, material history, aggregate sourcing, and data systems, the winter program asks how architecture’s entanglement with technical systems is evidenced in the preliminary acts of building, rather than its finished form. Staging Construction invites architects and designers with research-based practices to present new work that investigates construction as an act of building and an expression of industry. Staging Constructionis an exhibition and public program by Materials & Applications that explores construction as both practice and performance. Through its messy web of relations, construction practices draw architecture into the orbit of other systems, including technical procedures, bureaucratic governance, and negotiated temporalities.
