A WANDERING SHOW

The exhibition is intended to reach the public in countries that are well-developed technically, as well as in those that are not. It has to be conceived from the beginning as a wandering show. Its material - photographs, plans and models - must be mounted in such a way that it is easy to transport. 
The casing for the material must be arranted so that the exhibition is as far as possible independent of the walls of the buildings in which it is held. Plans and photographs are not sufficient.

Models: Three-dimensional models are necessary, to awaken the interest of the public. Models will be choosen for the exhibition from the point of view of their actual interest or of the influence they have had on contemporary architecture; they may either be models of existing buildings, or larger planning or models for buildings which were never actually constructed.

THE EXHIBITION

1. INTRODUCTION
To introduce the public to the subject, there should be a room containing photos, plans and models of the work of the creators of contemporary architecture. It is proposed that only two works of each architect should be shown, one a very early work and another from the latests years. If possible there should be models, which could later form the stock of a museum of contemporary architecture.

II. CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE HAS A NEW CONCEPTION OF SPACE
Contemporary architecture in all its diversity has one common denominator: a new conception of space. This applies equally to houses, the relation of volumes in space and the planning of whole cities.
