Part of the Lisbon Triennale for Architecture, 2023, Multiplicity was a collaboration with Vyjyanthi Rao. It features the work of individuals, practices and organisations from across the globe experimenting in myriad ways with architecture. Often working in demanding environmental, social and political conditions, these practitioners are pushing the boundaries of practice. In the process, they challenge our staid definition of what architecture is, while reclaiming and redefining it as a powerful tool in fighting for environmental, economic and social equity and justice. An agile, new architecture of institutions and communities, mirroring and learning from the uncertainties of our time is emerging in the process. The exhibition and accompanying book features Delhi’s Mohala Clinics, The Friendship Bench, Ibasho, Torolab, PAO’s Plug-in architecture, and Nudes’ Bookworm Pavillion. Exhibition design was by Miguel Viera Baptista. Alden Copley was a researcher on the project.
