Designing and building an archipelago has something similar to the act of creating a collection, a constellation of pieces held together by a series of relationships, often set up by a collector. According to the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, "a collection is a way to conceive the world: the relations and the principles that inform a collection comprise assumptions, juxtapositions, discoveries, attempts at possibilities and associations. Hence, one might state that collecting is a method to produce knowledge". But if the act of collecting can be considered as a method for producing knowledge, can it also be seen as a project?

Abstract
Designing and building an archipelago has something similar to the act of creating a collection, a constellation of pieces held together by a series of relationships, often set up by a collector. According to the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, "a collection is a way to conceive the world: the relations and the principles that inform a collection comprise assumptions, juxtapositions, discoveries, attempts at possibilities and associations. Hence, one might state that collecting is a method to produce knowledge". But if the act of collecting can be considered as a method for producing knowledge, can it also be seen as a project?File in questo prodotto:
