Panel Discussion: Living With / Vivre Avec

Panel Discussion: Living With / Vivre Avec ... The existing

Sunday, November 9 · 3–5 PM CST
Chicago Architecture Biennial, 840 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL

Living With / Vivre Avec is an exhibition originally commissioned by the Institut français for the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale and newly commissioned in Chicago by Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education in partnership with the 6th edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial,SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change.

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.
