'Making Matter What Too Often Does Not Matter: Material Protagonists of a Site-Derived Architecture' is a collaborative book authored by architect Søren Pihlmann and poet Adam Dickinson. The book accompanies the 'Build of Site' exhibition at the Danish Pavilion for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, which Søren Pihlmann curated.
The publication investigates the implications of a site-derived architectural practice and its associated ethical considerations. It proposes an approach to design that emphasizes the inherent qualities and potential of existing materials, particularly those often deemed insignificant or overlooked, thereby articulating how architecture can be shaped by valuing elements frequently disregarded.
