What constitutes the social context of architecture? What kind of
stories can be told about how lived experiences across global
communities, cities, territories, and ecologies resonate with
architectural and space-making practices? The 2019 Chicago
Architecture Biennial explores the implications of architecture and
the built environment as they relate to land, memory, rights, and
civic participation-drawing buildings, planning, art, policy
making, education, and activism into new conversations at global
and civic scales. Published in conjunction with the third iteration
of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, ...and other such stories
extends the exhibition's core questions through a range of essays,
interviews, and visual dossiers, along with a section introducing
the Biennial's contributors. It is structured by a series of
curatorial frames: (1) No Land Beyond reflects on landscapes of
belonging and sovereignty that challenge narrow definitions of land
as property and commodity; (2) Appearances and Erasures explores
both shared and contested memories in consideration of monuments,
memorials, and social histories; (3) Rights and Reclamations
foregrounds aspects of rights, advocacy, and civic purpose in
architectural and spatial practices; and (4) Common Ground
addresses practices invested in producing and intervening in public
space within and beyond the field of architecture.
