Architectural Bestia is curated by Hernán Díaz Alonso and designed by M. Casey Rehm. Featuring work by Atelier Manferdini, BairBalliet, Baumgartner+ Uriu Architects, Current Interests, Aminatou Fall, Florencia Pita & Co., Ramiro Diaz-Granados, Griffin Enright Architects, Soomeen Hahm Design, HDA-X, Kordae Henry, Kinch, Lifeforms.io, P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, Ruy Klein, servo LA-Stockholm, SU11 Architecture + Design, Testa & Weiser, Tom Wiscombe Architecture, William Virgil, and Liam Young.

In every process of evolution, there’s a period of utmost contamination that lends the likelihood for the trajectories of species to start to mutate. within the last thirty years, design has experienced multiple paradigm shifts generated by an eruption of latest methodologies. These were derived mainly from new technologies, but also from a series of cultural changes, each prompting a reorganization within the culture of design, architecture, and art, and violating an old order, rendering it historical, obsolete. Today, perhaps as never before, we share a technical language that flows from discipline to discipline, altering the paths of previously discrete branches of data . Many practices—art, architecture, fashion, film, music—explore similar ambitions, ideas rippling across and among them. The notion of authorship itself is in flux. This virtual exhibition acknowledges and propels this phenomenon. It seeks to carve a path through a jungle of aesthetic and conceptual similarities to impress contamination. Through AI , the work featured are going to be exposed to a perpetual state of transformation and mutation. The exhibition gathers a key set of practices, primarily from architecture, but also from art and fashion, to reveal facets of the strange beast that the tumultuous paradigm shifts of recent decades have left behind.
