'How things stand' is the catalogue for the project 'usus / usures', at the Belgian pavillion of the 12th Architecture Biennial of Venice, 2010. This publication analyses 'wear' as a material phenomenon and as an agent capable of influencing actions. It is the result of an intensive investigation carried out in Belgium. Wear is approached not as a problem in itself, a testimony to an error of design to be avoided at all costs, but as an inevitable and potentially creative process. Looking at wear then leads to reflection on use, users and construction practices.
