DIAGRAMS. A PROJECT BY AMO/OMA

An exhibition project realized by Fondazione Prada in collaboration with Rem Koolhaas and Giulio Margheri, Diagrams analyses the visual communication of data as a powerful device for constructing meaning, understanding or manipulation and as a pervasive tool for analysing, knowing and transforming the world. Over 300 objects, including rare documents, publications, digital images and videos, ranging from the 12th century to the present day and relating to a range of cultural and geographical contexts, are organised according to a thematic principle that reflects the urgent issues of the contemporary world. The result is a thorough investigation of the relationship between human intelligence, scientific and cultural phenomena, and the creation and diffusion of knowledge.
