Architecture is a powerful tool that shapes the monuments, memories, and expressions of societies and groups, creating a common language with which they debate and communicate their experiences and cultures. This is particularly evident in the Biennale Architettura 2021, which explores the theme of "How will we live together?" through a series of essays and visual material.

The curatorial team has produced two distinct volumes to accompany the exhibition. Expansions is a broader volume that examines the theme of collective living across different geographic locations, including Venice, Addis Ababa, Beirut, India, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, New York, and Prishtina. The essays in this volume explore past and current practices of coming together, highlighting the diverse ways in which people live and interact with each other.

On the other hand, Cohabitats is a more focused volume that examines the theme of the Biennale Architettura 2021 from the lens of a specific geographic location. This volume comprises essays and visual material that look at the ways in which architecture shapes and influences the lives of people in Venice, as well as in other cities around the world. The essays provide analytical examples that speak to all five scales of the exhibition, from individual beings to new households, emerging communities, across borders, and as one planet.

Both Expansions and Cohabitats are valuable resources for anyone interested in the role of architecture in shaping our collective future. They offer insights into past and current practices of coming together, and provide a platform for debate and discussion about the challenges and opportunities that we face in our increasingly interconnected world. Whether you are an architect, artist, or simply someone who enjoys exploring the world around you, these books are sure to inspire and engage you.
