The 17th International Architecture Exhibition "La Biennale di Venezia", curated by Hashim Sarkis, is dedicated to the question How Will We Live Together?
Over 100 participants* from 46 countries show their ideas and designs on the forward-looking topic. In 2021, the TUM Department of Architecture is represented at the renowned show with three contributions.
Among others, Prof. Thomas Auer, Ata Chokhachian and Daniele Santucci of Climateflux present their film: „two degrees, two meters“ is their answer to the Biennale's overriding question: “How will we live together?” addressed by Hashim Sarkis, the curator of The Venice Architecture Biennale 2021.
Inspired by this crucial question, they contribute to the Italian Pavilion “Resilient Communities” with a documentary, a data-driven investigation to focus on the significance of the environmental quality of public space, interpreted as the fundamental physical domain for living together. They use the threshold defined by the Paris Agreement of keeping a global temperature rise of this century well below 2° C above pre-industrial levels, using the 2 meters’ measure to raise awareness on the influence of design and materiality on environmental conditions in urban space. In particular, Venice, as a role model for the resilience of public space, underlines the relevance of the daily dose of 2° C temperature increase between 2 m layer of air, as an exposure index in everyday urbanism.
