The "Cabinet of Curiosities" or "Wunderkammer" was an intellectual concept in Renaissance and Baroque Europe, showcasing diverse natural and colonial artifacts. Emerging during the Enlightenment, these collections aimed to display the wealth of European empires. The exhibition "Beyond Images" reimagines the 2023 AJAC Awards as architectural curiosities, presenting them as narratives revealing the complexities of projects.

The "Cabinet of Curiosities" or "Wunderkammer" was an intellectual concept in Renaissance and Baroque Europe, showcasing diverse natural and colonial artifacts. Emerging during the Enlightenment, these collections aimed to display the wealth of European empires. The exhibition "Beyond Images" reimagines the 2023 AJAC Awards as architectural curiosities, presenting them as narratives revealing the complexities of projects.
These narratives go beyond disciplinary conventions, exploring environmental, economic, political, and ethical aspects of architectural projects. The exhibition constructs five cohesive narratives, from craftmanship projects to circular economies, the relevance of childhood in architectural production, uncommon design processes, or the memories shaping both built and dreamed projects.
