During World Space Week, architecture expands its frontiers. Workshops, international guests, talks, and interviews to imagine how to design, build, and inhabit beyond Earth.
During World Space Week, architecture expands its frontiers. The new space race raises a fundamental question for those designing today: how do we imagine, build, and inhabit beyond Earth?

Form Follows Fiction: Six Inquiries brings together six architectural projects that challenge one of architecture's most enduring assumptions: that form follows function. Examining work by six international architects, the exhibition — part of the main program of the 20th Buenos Aires Architecture Biennial — reveals how architecture can emerge from diverse, and often contradictory, narratives and ideas: pragmatic and artistic, collective and individual, pure and complex, restrained and expressive, structured and intuitive, logical and arbitrary. Together, these positions resist any single ideology or consensus.
