Make New History, the companion publication to the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial, invites speculation on the status and importance of historical material to the field of architecture today. The book brings together an eminent collection of historians, curators and practitioners and features over a hundred artists and architects from the exhibition. The 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial focuses on the efforts of contemporary architects to align their work with versions of history. The act of looking to the past to inform the present has always been central to architecture. The biennial and hence the book present the chance to consider anew the role history plays in the field today and to try to rethink this collective project of architecture. Being the largest architecture and design exhibition in North America, the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial presents the altering global impact of innovation and creativity regarding design and architecture. Visitors are invited to explore the impact and influence of architecture today and how it can and will make new history in different places all around the world.
Interrogarsi sullʼattualità del manierismo non è impresa facile. Ci vuole solidità intellettuale, impegno concreto e una buona dose di disinvoltura dialettica. Lʼautrice, smontando ogni malinteso e superando ogni suscettibilità, ricostruisce con orgoglio e complicità il filo di un discorso che, benché appartenga a tutti, nessuno ha il coraggio di far proprio. La missione è nobile e doverosa: emancipare il manierismo da categoria della Storia per farlo assurgere a una dimensione trascendente affrancata da ogni convenzione, cioè da ogni quadro cronologico, contesto culturale o impianto figurativo. Lina Malfona intraprende questa azione senza acrobazie, con discrezione e, soprattutto, con lo smaliziato disincanto di chi discerne bene lo scarto tra metafora e citazione, dunque tra la critica operativa dellʼarchitetto e la nostalgia esclusiva dell'antiquario.

Imagining the future of cohabitation in Venice and beyond Conceived as a record that delves deeper into a special section of the Biennale Architettura 2021, Co-habitats comprises essays and photo essays that pertain to specific geographic locations. While the main exhibition is primarily organized in five parts that contemplate a new spatial contract at five scales--as diverse beings, as new households, as emerging communities, across borders and as one planet--this volume showcases analytical examples of how we come together at all five of them in and around Venice, as well as in Addis Ababa, Beirut, India, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, New York, Prishtina and more.
