"There are places in the world where temperatures already exceed fifty degrees, and others where water levels rise meters above expected levels. Meanwhile, in the heart of São Paulo, architects, researchers, artists, and communities come together to ask: how can we inhabit the Earth in times of extremes? This question drives the 14th International Architecture Biennial of São Paulo, held at the Oca in Ibirapuera Park, focusing on the theme Extremes: Architectures for a Hot World."
"Unlike previous editions, which were spread across multiple locations in the city, curators Clevio Rabelo, Jera Guarani, Karina de Souza, Marcella Arruda, Marcos Certo, and Renato Anelli chose to concentrate this year's edition under a single roof, allowing the curatorial narrative to unfold clearly and directly. The entire journey is there, organized into sections that weave together ancestral practices and emerging technologies, material experiments and critical perspectives, local projects and global debates."
Rising global temperatures and sea levels frame the urgency of rethinking habitation. The 14th International Architecture Biennial of São Paulo, held at the Oca in Ibirapuera Park, centers on Extremes: Architectures for a Hot World and calls for confronting the climate crisis, social inequality, and the need to reinvent ways of living. Curators concentrated the biennial under a single roof to allow a clear, direct narrative. The exhibition organizes projects into interconnected sections that combine ancestral practices, emerging technologies, material experiments, critical perspectives, local projects, and global debates. The Oca functions as a crossroads for overlapping architectural visions and collective reflection on society and the environment.
