In an age characterised by the increasing dematerialisation of cultural production and transmission, “Database, Network, Interface” explores the historical role of architecture in the representation and organisation of information and knowledge.

In the course of human history, the library, the archive and the museum have embodied knowledge, information and collective culture to such an extent that it is possible to confront systems of information organisation with spatial and architectural typologies.

The publication, conceived on the occasion of the homonymous exhibition at Archizoom (EPFL), delves into the relationship between architectural and digital culture beyond the pure rhetoric of the digital turn and the digital as architectural style.
