Architecture and The “Fever” of Archiving

This chapter looks at recent attempts within the field of architectural scholarship that have shown more awareness of archive formation and the tactics of architectural knowledge making. It discusses archives as practices, as ways of scrambling epistemologies. It also pays ethnographic attention to the daily work and care of professional archivists and conservators, as well as archive-making strategies employed by practicing architects to envisage an archive-based future. The chapter presents an anthropology of archiving that would scrutinize what constitutes an archive in architecture, what form it takes, and what systems of classification and epistemology it performs at specific times.
