Join us for a panel on Living With / Vivre Avec, an exhibition presented in partnership with the 6th edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
This conversation will explore architecture’s capacity to respond to today’s polycrisis—a world marked by intensifying conflicts, unpredictable climates, and widespread displacement. Panelists will discuss how architecture can help sustain life amid instability and how these challenges can inspire new forms of collaboration among experts and communities alike.
