展览截止至2021年9月30日
On view through September 30, 2021
展览地址：广东省深圳市南山区打石二路，万科云城设计公社B612 Cube Station
@ Vanke Design Community, B612 Cube Station, Shenzhen, China.

由One Architecture和LOLA Landscape Architects共同策划的展览“气候适应性设计：与自然共生共建”正在深圳南山区万科云城设计公社B612方站Cube Station展出，展览将持续至本月底。我们特别感谢在9月4日参加展览开幕和学术论坛的各位嘉宾和观众，尤其是四位主题演讲者：Matthijs Bouw（One Architecture创始合伙人）、Peter Veenstra（LOLA Landscape Architects 创始合伙人）、程志鹏先生（ SUTPC深圳市城市交通规划设计研究中心/景观设计院院长）、祝捷先生（AUBE欧博设计董事/总景观师）
The exhibition is currently on view at Vanke Design Community, B612 Cube Station in Shenzhen Nanshan District through the end of this month. We thank all of you who joined us on September 4th at the opening reception and panel discussion for Design for a Changing Climate: Living and building with nature — an exhibition co-curated by One Architecture and LOLA Landscape Architects. We also thank four keynote speakers who joined us in celebrating the exhibition opening and garnered the discussion around the building with nature — Matthijs Bouw (founding principal of One Architecture), Peter Veenstra (founding partner of LOLA Landscape Architects), Mr. Cheng Zhipeng (Chief Landscape Architect of Shenzhen Urban Transport Planning Center), and Mr. Zhu Jie (Chief Landscape Architect of AUBE Design Institute.)

随着近年来世界范围内愈加频繁的干旱、暴雨、洪水和山火，气候紧急情况似乎已经成为新常态。我们需要立即行动，通过系统性的思考和设计应对逐步逼近的气候变化拐点。
The world has reached the transition point where we cannot sit back and watch as it drifts. We are witnessing and experiencing more and more drought, floods, heavy rains, and heatwaves. Nature is approaching its limit, and we must act now through systematic and comprehensive design.

本次展览将邀请您走进一片即将被洪水淹没的森林，作为生态挑战的隐喻。同时在展览中，我们将系统介绍LOLA和ONE长期对韧性城市和生态设计的研究和实践，从不同角度展示我们对于与自然共生共建的探索。
The exhibition invites you to reflect upon the immediacy of climate change, presenting an overview of ONE and LOLA’s long-standing research and practice of building with nature as an attempt to provide sustainable and integrated solutions in addressing the urgent crisis of our time.

展览位于深圳南山区万科云城设计公社B612方站Cube Station，将展出至今年9月底。我们诚挚地邀请您来“体验”这片森林，带您了解气候变化对建成环境的影响，并讨论设计在气候适应中的作用。
It is currently on view at Vanke Design Community, B612 Cube Station in Shenzhen Nanshan District through the end of this September. We cordially invite you to come and “experience” the forest that will walk you through the effects of climate change on our built environment and discuss the role of design in climate adaptation.

Lucca Biennale X Edition

Aug 1 – Sep 26, 2021

X EDITION NEW DATES

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic developments, the organizing committee of Lucca Biennale Cartasia has decided to postpone the tenth edition of the event from August 1st to September 26th, 2021.

We are working and will continue to work to maintain the safety of all those who work at or participate in the event, as artists and audience, and to maintain the integrity of the Biennale and its many sections.

That is why the Biennale does not stop. Great ideas are planned for the next edition: events, exhibitions, seminars, conferences involving countries such as Japan, as well as artists and speakers from all over the world. We are working on an edition rich in culture, art, events to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the event.

Postponing the event is above all a form of respect towards the city of Lucca, the participating artists and the public involved: we are going to be able to gather again in summer 2021, to live together the beauty of art.

After the tenth edition, in 2021, the eleventh edition will take place, as planned, in 2022 bringing the Lucca Biennale back to even years.

Thanks to every single person who continues to support us, we are at your disposal for any request.

To all, a deep wish for creativity, art and culture.

ZHA Close Up – Work & Research Exhibition

Two Exhibitions in M4H Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Down To Earth Reopens

picture : Aad Hoogendoorn

After months of lockdown, DOWN TO EARTH reopened on 9 June 2021 with two exhibitions: RECLAIMING THE COMMONS and WATERSCHOOL M4H+.

While there is no denying the seriousness of the current pandemic, the climate and biodiversity crisis is increasingly and urgently confronting us with the fact that we have pretty much ruined our relationship with the planet.

Science warns us: we’re almost at the tipping point. This puts us on high alert and forces us to radically change how we think and act, to create design solutions that will concretely and sustainably allow us to land.

Presenting the exhibitions RECLAIMING THE COMMONS and WATERSCHOOL M4H+, the IABR is once again on top of current affairs: climate crisis, mass extinction, global warming, and rapidly growing inequality. It is here that the IABR believes its key challenges lie.

A Story for the Future – MAXXI’s First Decade

17 Feb until 29 August 2021

Curated by Hou Hanru

Exhibition design by Inside Outside

Historical times call for critical, contemporary exhibitions. On the occasion of the decade-long anniversary of Rome’s first museum of the contemporary arts, memory will abide by the unbound. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the new exhibition titled “A Story for the Future: The First Decade of Maxxi”, for which Inside Outside has delivered the exhibition design.

MAXXI Museum is re-visiting its archive, but it’s the visitors who will be making the content count in its encore. The museum is growing to be an inescapable access point into the feeding and friction that takes place between creative communities and the fabric of modern life.

Now, MAXXI Museum is embracing its vocation as a platform instead of a podium and calling upon the curatorial insight of the visitor. A familiarized body of work will veer towards the unexpected as the exhibition dips it into an immersive environment that could provoke unexpected affects, combinations, sensations, or forecasts.

The exhibition “A Story for the Future: MAXXI’s First Decade” will open online – it will be available to the public from 17 February 2021 – 29 August 2021.

Chronicling the pandemic

A research project that the Equilibrium Network is instigating:

They are inviting anyone and everyone who is working within the built environment to send a short video of themselves, filmed on their phones, talking about the impact that the pandemic has had on their lives, and the long-term changes that they envisage as a result, both personally and professionally.

The results will be posted on the EQN website (https://www.equilibrium-network.com and will be used as the basis for a more formal piece of research by our academic friends.
