Material / Memory brings together more than one hundred material studies produced by Max Stirner and collaborators over the past decade.

The exhibition focuses on the physical side of architectural research.

Stone fragments, timber samples, plaster surfaces, metal connections, glass studies, and construction details are presented alongside drawings and photographs from completed projects.

Rather than arranging the materials as a catalogue, the exhibition groups them according to their behaviour.

Heavy and light.

Opaque and transparent.

Rough and smooth.

Permanent and temporary.

Each group demonstrates how a material decision can influence the architecture around it.

Several studies are intentionally unfinished. Some were rejected during design development. Others were produced as tests and never incorporated into a completed building.

Their inclusion reflects the practice's belief that unsuccessful experiments are still part of architectural knowledge.

The exhibition also explores the relationship between material and memory.

Materials change through use. Stone becomes polished. Timber darkens. Metal oxidises. Surfaces collect marks.

These changes are not treated as deterioration alone.

They are evidence of time.

Material / Memory will be accompanied by a small publication documenting selected studies from the practice archive.
