pubs.rights-statement	The world is full of architecture – more or less interesting – and we do not wish to add more. Thus, this project advocates for a reconstruction of architectural imaginaries that have been forgotten, destroyed, overlooked or dismissed. It proposes a modus operandi based on the salvation of architecture in danger of extinction; the rebuilding of hazardous architecture destroyed for political reasons. “There is No Original Work in this Installation” is a reconstruction of the artist Ai Weiwei’s studio façade, infamously built and immediately demolished by the Chinese government. It was built as part of the Street, an exhibition of facades conceived as the second iteration of the 1980 exhibition la Strada Novissima. It explored the use of replicas in architectural production in the double meaning that it bears in Romance languages – both a literal copy and an answer to previous statements. It both appropriated existing design and used it to make a statement. Its value has been attested to by the following indicators: it was part of the Exhibition “The Street,” part of the 2011 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture. It was published in the “Fake Industries Architectural Agonism Dossier” in Plot no.08 june/august 2012 and in “From la Strada Novissima to the Street: a story of excess and destruction” published in le Journal SpecialeZ no.3 Winter 2012.	en_US
