Slightly Tilted: Assemblies from Reassigned Signs

Working from distinct cultural and geographic contexts, this session proposes architecture as a curatorial practice: not the production of new objects, but the selection, editing, and re-contextualization of what already circulates in the built world. Kosmos Architects, Un Parell d’Arquitectes, and Infraestudio work from different contexts yet converge on a shared position: space emerges as much from temporary infrastructures, informal logics, and cultural residues as from designed form.

Their projects treat scarcity, regulation, and the everyday as operative material. Scaffolding, municipal stockpiles, industrial by-products, vernacular assemblies, domestic rituals, and minor urban devices become the media through which form and meaning are negotiated. Here, authorship is less a signature than a responsibility: to make visible hidden resources, to build continuities without nostalgia, and to open new publics inside what seems already given.
