Make It Real is a talk about how architecture performs things into the world. It presents an understanding of performance that goes beyond beyond professional KPI’s and building efficiencies to consider the way architecture precipitates abstract ideas into the world. Through recent projects dealing in architectural replicas and re-enactments, buildings that are simultaneously stages and performances, and objects that are as much representations as things, the talk considers architecture’s position between fiction and reality, as a mechanism by which abstract ideas become the world.
