San Rocco / Book of Copies: Fountains

Book of Copies is a database comprised of images that may be copied in order to produce architecture. As such, Book of Copies is a receptacle of a collective form of knowledge that we can provisionally call “architecture”. Book of Copies is organized according to a precise set of rules and is produced by a multitude of producers. Book of Copies is based on an inherently derivative and collective effort, starting with the zero-degree act of accumulation of formal knowledge, namely “collecting”.

Book of Copies was published by San Rocco in March 2015.

San Rocco first presented BOC as a contribution to the Museum of Copies, the exhibition curated by FAT (London, UK) at the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2012. The collection of books has then been expanded and presented in London at the A.A. School of Architecture in October 2013.
