Y:    2023Color has always been a powerful tool in architecture—it shapes our perception of space and form, communicates ideas or intentions, and guides the sensory experience of the observer. Yet despite its significance, color has gradually lost prominence in both architectural practice and education.
    With Diskursiv No.2, Colors, we place color back at the center of architectural discourse, aiming to restore its relevance. To give the theme the presence it deserves, the exhibition design intentionally withdraws from the color spectrum— allowing the space to absorb and reflect the surrounding hues, amplifying them in return.
    The various perspectives, approaches, and methods related to the topic were explored through a series of lectures and a symposium featuring Jan De Vylder, among others. These contributions are brought together in the exhibition and the accompanying publication, Diskursiv No.2, Colors. The show includes works by Nuno Melo Sousa, Nikola Hergovich, Michael Reindel, Institut Vierzehn, and Luca Tommasi, along with 90 submissions from international architecture studios.
