"Architects are turning towards justice...Now faced with nativist, reactionary, and exclusionary politics, we look to design concepts that emphasize inclusion, equity, and local, community-oriented solutions." — Kian Goh @kiangoh https://t.co/DLrLSNBnGW

"The United States’ four hundred years of slave codes followed by Jim Crow segregation have laid firm groundwork for legislating where black people belong. Enslaved Africans belonged in the fields, not the big house." — Mabel O. Wilson, "Mine Not Yours" https://t.co/mjBylw6FmZ

"Far from shying away from the topic the curatorial team had in fact pulled off a masterstroke. [...] they had elevated the discourse on citizenship to notions of belonging, immigration, sovereignty, and ecology." — Giovanna Dunmall in Curbed: https://t.co/VQcjGeT3yI

"The most important event on the international architecture calendar, the Biennale is where nations have sent their greatest thinkers to hash out the most pressing themes and issues gripping their industry--and society at large." — Allyssia Alleyne in CNN https://t.co/fCQZJsSDkN

"Memphis Landing is a cobblestone-paved landing along the Mississippi River. It served as the city’s main port from its construction in 1861 through the 1930s, until the growth of... air freight rendered it largely obsolete." Photo: © Tom Harris. https://t.co/nghlf9w9pl
