• Other space odysseys: Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan and Alessendro Poli

  2010-04-08-2010-09-06

  The exhibition presents three projects dealing with the idea of an adventurous journey that started 30 years ago. After the mission to the moon in 1969, Poli and Superstudio considered that it was no longer possible to imagine our environment as disconnected from the new reality of outer space. Their extensive research led to the now legendary project for a highway to connect the earth and the moon. Los Angeles-based architect Michael Maltzan is in the process of designing the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Administration Building for NASA that challenges existing models for housing scientific research, and proposes a new type of physical environment to facilitate a collaborative research process. Los Angeles-based architect Greg Lynn has collaborated with university students from Vienna and UCLA to initiate a research and design project for new terminals on both the earth and the moon, which will connect travelers between these two venues. The exhibition is curated by CCA Director Mirko Zardini and Curator for Contemporary Architecture Giovanna Borasi and is presented in close collaboration with the three architects, who contribute to the design of their respective presentations.
