A series of online meetings and panels accompanying the exhibition in the Polish Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, the opening of which was postponed from May to\u00a0next year in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The starting point for the events was the question How will we live together?<\/em> \u2013 the main theme of the upcoming Biennale Architettura.<\/p>\n \u2018We need a new spatial contract. In the context of widening political divides and growing economic inequalities, we call on architects to imagine spaces in which we can generously live together<\/em>: together<\/em> as human beings who, despite our increasing individuality, yearn to connect with one another and with other species across digital and real space; together<\/em> as new households looking for more diverse and dignified spaces for inhabitation; together<\/em> as emerging communities that demand equity, inclusion, and spatial identity; . . . and together<\/em> as a planet facing crises that require global action for us to continue living at all\u2019 \u2013 fragment of the statement by Hashim Sarkis, curator of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trouble in Paradise On the day of the originally planned inauguration of Trouble in Paradise<\/em> in the Polish Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2020, we invite you to a meeting with the exhibition curators: PROLOG +1<\/a> <\/strong>(Mirabela Jurczenko, Bartosz Kowal, Wojciech Mazan, Bart\u0142omiej Poteralski, Rafa\u0142 \u015aliwa and Robert Witczak). Host: Hanna Wr\u00f3blewska<\/strong>, Commissioner of the Polish Pavilion, and Micha\u0142 Duda<\/strong>, Museum of Architecture in Wroc\u0142aw.<\/p>\n The Trouble in Paradise<\/em> exhibition treats the countryside as an independent area of research and seeks within it for answers to the main theme of the Biennale Architettura 2020: How will we live together?\u00a0<\/em>The authors of the project claim that in times of growing local and global crises, rural areas are an important element of building sustainable human environments.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n What is the purpose of exhibitions of architecture? Development of architecture and critical thought.<\/em> Every important architectural exhibition allows visitors not only to get acquainted with the current problems of contemporary architecture, but also to look into the future. However, the pandemic has made many of even the latest visions fade away in a month or two. What questions have become relevant? What new tasks and challenges have arisen for architecture?\u00a0The panellists will discuss new challenges for architecture, the Biennale Architettura 2020 in the face of the pandemic and the role of architectural exhibitions in shaping architects\u2019 attitudes. Can international architecture exhibitions really be an architectural seismograph?<\/p>\n Hosts: Ewa P. Por\u0119bska<\/strong>, editor-in-chief of Architektura-murator<\/em> magazine, and Marcin Szczelina<\/strong>, architecture critic and curator (Architecture Snob<\/em>)<\/p>\n Panel guests: <\/p>\n The Countryside In a Time of Climate Disaster. Food production, supply chains, role of the state, relationship with the land, the countryside as a place of residence What are the most important trends shaping today\u2019s countryside on a global and local scale? In the 21st century \u2013 the era of industrial food production (\u2018food as the oil of the future\u2019) \u2014 the countryside is becoming a place of industrial production on a huge scale. What impact does this have on the transformation of rural areas? How do these transformations affect social change? What entities become owners of land in rural areas? What happens to individual farmers? In the discussion we will address the effects of rural industrialisation in the context of the climate crisis. We will consider how the modern functioning of the countryside affects the emission of greenhouse gases (food production, global transport, loss of biodiversity, mass animal husbandry in giant farms, etc.). As part of the food production and pandemic issues, we will analyse modern food supply chains and the possibilities of shortening them.<\/p>\n Hosts: Marta Karpi\u0144ska<\/strong> and Dorota Le\u015bniak-Rychlak<\/strong>, editors of Autoportret<\/em> magazine<\/p>\n Panel guests: <\/p>\n Exurbanites, or About New Rural Residents The starting point for the discussion will be the tensions between new arrivals and locals, which became apparent during the ongoing pandemic, when a wave of city dwellers flooded the countryside, causing anxiety among local communities. The escape of the urban middle class into the countryside is no longer a marginal phenomenon, but a process defined and analysed by sociologists. The participants of the discussion will try to answer the following questions: are fugitives from the city colonisers, do they gentrify the village, and how does this affect its identity? What is contemporary ch\u0142opomania<\/em> [the intelligentsia\u2019s fascination with, and interest in, the peasantry] and can architects offer the countryside a new identity?<\/p>\n Hosts: Milena Trzci\u0144ska<\/strong> and \u0141ukasz St\u0119pnik<\/strong>, editors of the RZUT<\/em> quarterly<\/p>\n Panel guests: <\/p>\n Trouble in Paradise \u2013 online meetings A series of online meetings and panels accompanying the exhibition in the Polish Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice<\/p>\n Online meetings organised by\u00a0Zach\u0119ta \u2013 National Gallery of Art in collaboration with\u00a0\u201eArchitektura-murator<\/a>\u201d, \u201eAutoportret<\/a>\u201d, \u201eRZUT<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Illustration
