Type-Topia is a city defined by its monuments and civic institutions. Seven of Khoury Levit Fong’s projects form the mental geography of a cityscape recognized through its iconic artifacts. The intimate and personal experiences of Type-topia’s citizenry thread through the collective figures created by the architecture of the city’s civic institutions and monuments. While travelers’ are drawn to the city by the charm of these distinctive figures. Type-topia, the city, is visible here through the use of augmented reality programmed into tablets through which the city can be surveyed. The special iconic status of the totemic buildings through the use of tablets reveals their role in the urban geography of Type-topia. The intent of the exhibition is to call attention to the iconic status of important public spaces and buildings in shaping the identity of cities and producing the locus of their civic realms. By shifting attention away from some of today’s current themes they are focused on questions of performance the exhibition wishes to underline the role that buildings play as the geography of monuments that are touchstones to urban experience and that forgotten term locus genii.
