Review
The exhibit forgoes the rhetoric of soundbites and presidential tweets and instead broadens and “elevates the discourse on citizenship to notions of belonging, immigration, sovereignty, and ecology,” wrote Curbed’s Giovanna Dunmall of last year’s Biennale. (Jay Kozlarz Curbed)
These themes have been so much in the news lately. Whether it’s the government shutdown over a wall at the border, the removal of Confederate monuments, or protests in airport lobbies,” Lui says, “what it means to belong is an urgent topic to a lot of people―it’s really important for architects, landscape architects, and designers to respond. (Rebecca Holland Architectural Digest)
A colorful, digestible guide to the late 21st century and the role that architects play or don't play in shaping our collective understanding of citizenship. (Christina DesMarais Inc.)
