Unsolicited architecture in Recife

Starting his journey as the Dutch entry at the 9th International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo the exhibition Unsolicited Architecture is now on show in Recife, Brazil. In Unsolicited Architecture three issues are highlighted; mobility, public space and vacancy. The exhibition features nine projects by architects who enter into urgent social challenges. They seize opportunities where the established building practice doesn't. Almost all of the presented projects are established in cooperation between Dutch and international architects.

This exhibition now at display at the Museu do Estado, in Recife, originated from the innovation agenda of the NAI Architecture of Consequence, in which architects, urban planners and designers are invited to contribute to a sustainable society. With Architecture of Consequence the NAI shows that architecture can play a significant role in solving social problems.
