Taking The Country’s Side, Agriculture and Architecture

Adam Caruso contributes a review of Sébastien Marot's 'Taking The Country’s Side, Agriculture and Architecture' to Drawing Matter.

The book was formed from themes and ideas presented at the 2019 Lisbon Architecture Triennale. There Sébastien Marot gave a talk that discussed his work on the countryside, in relation to Rem Koolhaas’s Guggenheim exhibition, 'Countryside, The Future'.

Caruso explores the way Marot has approached architecture and agriculture's existence in the Anthropocene; offering similaritites and differences to Koolhaas's approach. Gathering an understanding of the future Marot believes we should aim towards; one of permaculture, through incorporation, negotiation, infiltration, and secession.

This second volume in Caruso St John’s Collected Works is published this month by MACK. The publication traces an interlacing set of themes through the practice’s work over the first twelve years of the twenty-first century. Its unique approach to history is revealed as a rejection of the myth of relentless novelty in favour of an understanding of the past as present and an interest in working with the existing. The influences of Milan, Chicago, and Rome on understandings of the city are explored, as well as the use of ornament and the place of Switzerland in shaping the practice’s evolving trajectory. Throughout these contexts, collaborations with contemporary artists including Thomas Demand and Damien Hirst continue to shape the practice's relations to the materiality and drama of space.
