Abstract
Documents Uzbekistan's participation in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia, 2025, curated by GRACE. The project examines the Sun Institute of Material Science near Tashkent — a solar furnace built in 1987, one of only two in the world — exploring its ambivalent character as simultaneously sustainable and unsustainable, modernist and archaic, didactic and secretive. Combines critical essays, oral testimonies, dialogues with physicists Odilkhuja Parpiev and Sultan Suleymanov, and a photographic sequence by Armin Linke.
