“Vivre avec / Living With” questions architecture’s ability to handle climate challenges, conflicts, and global instability. How can we continue to inhabit our planet while embracing these challenges and creating new ways of living?
The curatorial team aims to demonstrate that architecture can do more than survive in a world in crisis—it can actively contribute to humanity’s adaptation to changing conditions.
