22. May, 2021 – 21. November

Responding to the topic raised by the chief curator Hashim Sarkis, ”How Will We Live Together?”, the Hungarian exhibition of the 17th Architecture Biennale seeks solutions by looking back to the past.

The Othernity project seeks to develop a responsible and sustainable architectural position through novel theoretical and practical approaches to often-neglected modern architecture. The project invited 12 Central and Eastern European architecture firms to rethink 12 emblematic modern buildings in Budapest.

The Venice exhibition combines the unique values of the original buildings in an attempt to offer new perspectives on the legacy of this often-disputed era, and the unusual, innovative results of this collaborative research and design process.
