From the meaning of 'home' to the dynamics of borderlands, pressing issues of our day are investigated: ''It would be difficult to think of a more urgent and timely issue than what it means to be a citizen. We hope that this exhibition will provoke visitors to think about multiple aspects of citizenship and how architects, designers, and artists might respond to them. -- Mechteld Jungerius * TLmag *
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. *
