TEXT

The Venice Biennale Argentine Pavilion for the XVII International Architecture Exhibition addresses the Biennale’s theme by proposing an exhibition whose content expresses architecture’s capacity to create connections between intimate living spaces and public ones, and whose physical setting becomes a tangible manifestation of the essential architectural resources that articulate these relationships.

Curatorial Project

Argentina is a plural country, where people of diverse cultural, social, religious, and ethnic backgrounds live together in harmony. This is how we have lived together for a long time, and it is now a fundamental part of our identity.

Our cities are the crucible of this diversity, where hundreds of thousands of different individuals coexist to generate something greater than the sum of its parts. Our homes are places of intimacy and enclosure; our streets and squares are places of openness and encounter. Between them, architectural boundaries and transitions articulate the relationship between the individual and the collective. These are the thresholds that connect both facets of human experience and inevitably form part of the response to the central question: How will we live together?

The Argentine Pavilion at the Biennale will present an exhibition of contemporary urban collective housing projects whose boundaries and thresholds between the intimate and the public propose creative, rich, and sophisticated forms of connection, allowing us to continue building and enriching our diverse, tolerant, and interconnected identity.

The exhibition will be a way of sharing with the world our modes of coexistence and the architectural sensibilities that make them possible.
