INFO:
SOFTSITE is an architectural investigation into the speculative storage, collective custodianship, and slow transformation of salvaged materials into objects of value and, ultimately, into architecture, through acts of “making good”.
Addressing the publics of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale and the Tallinn Baltic Station, SOFTSITE provides a spatial alternative to the intensities of an optimized existence, supporting materials and bodies at rest while taking time to explore the formalizing acts that make stuff a “material” and materials an “architecture.”
