“Racial equity and climate justice are two sides of the same coin. But hope is a powerful currency. To be hopeful is to be human. At a deeply personal level, I owe my presence at this table today to the tireless demands for a more just, more inclusive and more equitable fought for by generations before me. The vision of a modern, diverse, and inclusive society is seductive and persuasive, but as long as it remains an image, it is a mirage. Something more than representation is needed, and architects historically are key players in translating images into reality. ”
Statement BY Lesley Lokko, currator of the Architecture Biennale 2023.

“Architects Against Housing Alienation (AAHA) (…) has a mission to instigate an architectural movement and create socially, ecologically, and creatively empowering housing for all. ” L’OEUF, chosen by the collective, focuses on producing or improving the constructive quality of community housing, for example affordable housing where residents can take ownership of the ecological maintenance of the building, by integrating sustainable measures and systems, with limited budgets. By respecting medium and long term costs, L’OEUF contributes in its own way to the fight against the housing crisis.

We look forward to revealing the content that will be presented in Venice!
