closed Savage Architecture: Open Archive

The show

On Friday 8 April 2022 the Pastificio Cerere Foundation presents Savage Architecture: Open Archive, a collective exhibition curated by ADS10, open to the public from Saturday 9 April to Saturday 7 May 2022 and the first appointment of The Archive Project, a program of exhibitions curated by FIELD.

The exhibition presents the results of the research started in 2017 by ADS10 - Architecture Design Studio 10, a laboratory that straddles architectural design, anthropological investigation, didactic experimentation and curatorial practices held by Gianfranco Bombaci, Matteo Costanzo, Francesca Romana Dell'Aglio and Davide Sacconi at the Royal College of Art in London.


Savage Architecture: Open Archive is a journey in search of the reason for architecture: an investigation that questions the relationship with man and the built environment to restore meaning and method to the practice of architecture and to verify whether the latter is still an instrument capable of challenging the norms and behaviors imposed by the contemporary condition.

The exhibition investigates the concept of archive in relation to architectural practice and presents a method for dealing with the infinite possibilities that open up to the architect. Instead of relying on computational power, immediacy of action or creativity of perception, ADS10 proposes to use the power of the archive as a design tool.


Archives are the set of objects, documents and information collected in the exploration of an issue: they are the concrete definition of a field of investigation and at the same time of a position within it. Therefore, in its construction, the complex bond that holds together a collection of materials is specified and articulated through a process of non-philological sampling, that is, working through analogies, juxtapositions and genealogies. Using narrative fiction, the technical precision of the drawings and the evocative dimension of the models, the archive becomes a tool for building that distance from historical reality which is essential to a radical critique of existing conditions and to the proposal of alternative scenarios. Thus the archive escapes the danger of historicism by making history a horizon of liberation.
