🌿It’s been a real privilege to open A Fragile Correspondence at the V&A Dundee - returning Scotland’s contribution to the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale to home turf. Conceptualised, curated and designed by the Architecture Fringe, ism magazine, and /other the exhibition explores three varied landscapes across Scotland - Loch Ness, Orkney and Ravenscraig, examining the relationship between land, architecture and language, to think about new ways of working in connection to the land rather than simply upon it. The exhibition hosts work from a stellar array of contributors: Mairi McFadyen, Raghnaid Sandilands, Dele Adeyemo, Tine Collective, Dr Amanda Thomson, Becky Little, Tom Warren, Aaron McCarthy and Prof. Donna Heddle as well as curatorial responses by the Architecture Fringe, -ism magazine, and /other. The beautiful research films are by Simon Forsythe at Lateral North and we are grateful for the support and camaraderie of Ann Louise Kieran at North Lanarkshire Council. For this edition, a particular shout-out to Neil McGuire, Kristina Enberg and Mia Pinder-Hussein with whom it’s been a real pleasure to closely collaborate on the exhibition design these past eleven months. We have been wonderfully supported by curators Miriam Mallalieu and Svetlana Panova and we deeply appreciate their experience, attention to detail, and patience. Production and install has been magnificent viac Scott Brotherton. Thank you, too, to Leonie Bell and Caroline Grewar for their encouragement and support. A Fragile Correspondence is now open at the V&A Dundee until Spring and is free to visit. A massive thank you to all the wonderful friends, family and partners in crime who joined us for the beautiful opening on Thursday evening. #afragilecorrespondence #architecture #vadundee #scotlandvenice

👀🔥Hello! Our inter/national Open Call for the Architecture Fringe Festival 2025 is now live!🌈 For the #AF2025 we'll be exploring Reciprocity - Architectures of Exchange with the festival taking place 06-22 June 2025. For architecture, reciprocity helps to remind us that the functioning of our world relies on the presence, assistance, and positive actions of other people. Reciprocity is an important social norm that informs human behaviour and aids our wellbeing. It promotes sociability and encourages people to work together - foundational requirements for the viability of our towns, cities and landscapes. Our Open Call is live for projects and events across Scotland and further afield, in-person or online! https://lnkd.in/ek2ZVCEw Excited?
