Form Follows Fiction: Six Inquiries Exhibition

An exhibition titled "Form Follows Fiction: Six Inquiries" challenges the architectural principle that form follows function. It showcases six international architectural projects at the 20th Buenos Aires Architecture Biennial.

The exhibition explores how architecture can be shaped by a variety of narratives and ideas, including pragmatic and artistic, collective and individual, pure and complex, restrained and expressive, structured and intuitive, and logical and arbitrary.

These diverse positions collectively resist a singular ideology or consensus in architectural design.

The projects presented treat architecture as a process of inquiry rather than a definitive resolution.

Each project starts with a 'fiction'—a hypothesis, story, projection, or premise—used to test, question, and reinvent concepts and forms.

This approach highlights architecture as an investigative process.

Form in these projects emerges from ideas, intentions, and imagination as much as from function.
