In a world scarred by the exploitation of resources and people and torn apart by wars, architecture can serve as a reparative force. Fueled by this belief, Pavillon de l’Arsenal presents the exhibition “The Great Repair,” a traveling project initiated by ARCH+ in collaboration with Akademie der Künste in Berlin, ETH Zurich, and the University of Luxembourg. Its aim, in light of the stark realisation of the irreconcilable conflict between unchecked growth and ecological balance, is to advocate for a new architectural ethos centered around repair.
