As they accumulate, they lie in wait for someone to find the time to interrogate them and bring them back to the present time.Whether they be large or small, digital or physical, public or private, hoards prevent access to the stories of the things they contain. To give a group of things a structure than can last over time, guaranteeing controlled development and greater access to the stories they contain, hoarding is not enough: the hoarded objects can only begin to talk and tell their story if they are organized into a defined order, if they are curated, either through the work of an archivist or the criteria of a collector.This paper considers the hoarding of objects in every possible sense, reflecting on their narrative power and on the capacity of artefacts to constitute a recorded historical memory, be it personal or collective.

Ognuno interpreta un ruolo che è definito dalla posizione che occupa: il sindaco di una città, il suo abitante, un vigile urbano, un commerciante, un turista, uno straniero e un artista di strada. Dopo alcuni minuti il dialogo s'interrompe, i partecipanti si alzano e cambiano la loro posizione assumendo così un nuovo ruolo. La discussione riprende.

Building an exhibition means giving shape to an artificial environment in which certain meanings are transmitted. In a dialectical relationship with the visi-‐ tor, objects reclaimed from the context that generated them are ordered and pre-‐ sented, defining situations full of new meanings and dimensions. In this context, atmosphere plays a significant role: objects and public are simultaneously in one place and, to ensure a successful communication, the emotional component takes on strategic importance. Building an architecture exhibition means giving shape to an artificial environment in which the object of the display is absent. Therefore, in some cases, the purpose of the show becomes the issue of making a spatial experi-‐ ence accessible to the public. Some architecture exhibitions do not define their goal as an objective presentation based on technical drawings, models and strangely uninhabited photographs but, on the contrary, they try to reconstruct a certain “some...
