Living structures – Architecture Connecting

Living Structures presents three design studios & labs with a diverse use of biology and biochemistry as a basis for their practises. The exhibition is the first in a new series 'Architecture Connecting', spotlighting the evolution of architecture in an era of climate crisis and the social, cultural and political challenges this reality poses.

Overall, the exhibitions in the new series – presented from 2024 to 2029 – will investigate how interdisciplinary encounters expand the field of architecture, and how our built world is likely to evolve. Will we ultimately bid a farewell to classic categorical antitheses such as ‘city/country’ and ‘nature/culture’ and perhaps even to the notion that our very planet is unique?

Living Structures, the first exhibition in the series, will take a close look at architecture firms and architects that make diverse use of biology and biochemistry as a basis for architecture. It will reveal how research is impacting the working methods and processes of architects, and particularly how interdisciplinary approaches are changing buildings and landscapes.

The show presents ecoLogicStudio, Atelier LUMA and Jenny Sabin Studio. They work at the intersection of algorithms and nature, using new methods to push the boundaries of architecture. Conscious of our connection to all living things and tracking technological advances, not least in artificial intelligence tools, the studios are developing new methods to review issues of sustainable architecture and climate concerns.
