Il museo Guggenheim guarda al
prossimo futuro e ai grandi cambiamenti socio-culturali, e lo fa anche col il
noto architetto Rem Koolhaas per pensare al cambiamento urbano.
Questo dialogo sfocerà in un
evento espositivo il prossimo 2019 che
prenderà forma con l’ AMO, la sezione di ricerca dello studio olandese e la
scuola di design l’ Harvard Graduate. Per ora c’è già il titolo “la campagna:
il futuro del mondo”
CS
According to architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas, the fact
that 50 percent of the global population now lives in cities has become an
excuse to ignore the other 98 percent of the world’s surface: the countryside.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum has invited Koolhaas and AMO, the think tank
of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), to collaborate on a project
that explores the radical changes occurring in the countryside, extending work
underway by AMO / Koolhaas and students at the Harvard Graduate School of
Design.
Opening in fall 2019, the rotunda exhibition Countryside:
Future of the World (working title) will present speculations about tomorrow
through insights into the countryside today. More than any city, the vast
nonurban territories of the countryside have become the frontier of
transformation. The exhibition will explore artificial intelligence and
automation, the effects of genetic experimentation, political radicalization,
mass and micro migration, large-scale territorial management, human-animal
ecosystems, subsidies and tax incentives, the impact of the digital on the
physical world, and other developments that are altering landscapes across the
globe.
Countryside: Future of the World is organized by Troy Conrad
Therrien, Curator, Architecture and Digital Initiatives, with Ashley
Mendelsohn, Assistant Curator, Architecture and Digital Initiatives.
