Archrypt. El archivo para el futuro posapocalíptico que exorcice el fin de la arquitectura
Resumen
La arquitectura siempre ha interactuado con la amenaza constante de desastres y, en esa interacción, ha dispuesto sus capacidades performativas. En la época contemporánea, la sucesión de catástrofes ha acelerado la percepción de un estado de perpetuo equilibrio a nivel global. Llevando al extremo la amenaza de un fin del mundo más o menos inminente, esta investigación explora la idea de recopilar y archivar las respuestas arquitectónicas desarrolladas en contextos marcados por situaciones críticas y plantea la hipótesis de una cápsula del tiempo confiada a la posteridad de una sociedad posapocalíptica. Adoptando una narrativa intencionadamente especulativa, Archrypt busca definir un repertorio de teorías y proyectos que delineen un archivo cultural que simultáneamente encarne un dispositivo operativo y, a su vez, uno para la preservación de la memoria para un futuro lejano e incierto. Archrypt es una obra crítica sobre la necesidad de transmitir “la memoria de la arquitectura” y “la arquitectura de la memoria”; un dispositivo experimental activo que cuestiona el rol disciplinar al interior de un estado de permacrisis.
