Traduire: Architecture / Translating: Architecture

Architecture explores the diversity of contemporary notions of architecture through the tool of translation. As a mediator between cultural differences and an instrument of resistance to dominant narratives, translation invites us to renew architectural discourse by opening up to multiple frames of reference. To this end, twenty-five architects from around the world were invited to write, in their own lan-guage, a short essay on their view of architecture.

Translated into French and English, these contributions are accompanied by commentaries from the translators, together revealing frictions, gaps, and discoveries inherent to the act of translation.
