World Premiere – La chambre des mémoires à-venir in the forbidden basements of Paris La Défense From September 16 to October 01, 2023, Paris hosts the world premiere of La Chambre des mémoires à-venir. Two partners, Mondes Nouveaux and Paris La Défense, have joined forces to offer the public a unique experience: the discovery of a complex world where you are invited to get lost or find yourself, for a period of 30 minutes, in the forbidden basements of Paris La Défense. La chambre des mémoires à-venir is designed by architect François Roche, who has brought together a multidisciplinary, international team with New-Territories: philosopher Emanuele Coccia (France) & artist Mika Tamori (Japan/Thailand), artist-director Chris Delaporte (France), sound designer Damien Sorrentino (France) and actress Laura Benson (UK/France). Signaling the return of New-Territories_S/her to Europe, France and Paris, La Chambre des mémoires à-venir is the ultimate opportunity to plunge beneath the Paris La Défense slab into these forbidden places, programmed to be re-structured.

Synthetic Cities: An Exhibition on Human-Machine Creativity
Synthetic Cities is an exhibition that centers on identifying modes of human-machine co-authorship that question and explore creativity and originality. The city, in this instance, becomes a symbolic representation that reflects on the human condition and on collective and personal expression. It serves as a focal point for constructing narratives that strive to capture originality and contribute to the discourse on how we create, understand, and engage with the co-authored artistic content. The six original works presented in the exhibition function as an interconnected apparatus that invites the viewers into ever-unfolding cityscapes, revealing intriguing connections between reality and imagination and showcasing conditions for an interplay between artificial creation and human perception.

Curated by Jeannette Plaut and Marcelo Sarovic, co-founders of the Santiago, Chile-based architectural platform, CONSTRUCTO, CAMPUS AULA: Educational Architecture in Latin America explores nine new higher education projects in Latin America. In the 20th century, Latin America was the site of several emblematic university projects with powerful social agendas. At this time, the Modernist paradigm conceived of the campus as a university town—an autonomous, contained site following a strict urban logic. Today, architects are once again redefining the educational experience in Latin America through designs that seek a more open, inclusive approach to learning. The transformation of the educational project can be explored in relation to two terms: “campus” and “aula,” or classroom, which represent two scales of intervention within the typology.
