other space odysseys: greg lynn, michael maltzan, alessandro poli
canadian centre for architecture, montreal
april 8 – september 6, 2010
the canadian centre for architecture (CCA) recently opened their latest show other space odysseys
featuring the work of architects greg lynn, michael maltzan and alessandro poli. the exhibit explores each
architect’s approach to space exploration and how they have used it to test new ideas for life on earth.
working with the theme of space exploration, each architect has expressed their ideas using a wide
variety of media including models, collages, animations, objects and even film. rather than an exhibition
about space architecture CCA curator mirko zardini believes, ‘this exhibition proposes a letting go of
architecture understood as the production of material goods in favour of architecture as the production
of ideas’. ‘other space odysseys,’ a publication edited by giovanna borasi and mirko zardini accompanies
the exhibition in both an english and french editions.

three projects by greg lynn are presented in the exhibition, each one making use of extreme conditions
– such as virtual reality or the absence of gravity – to introduce new directions, technologies and form
into the world of architectural possibility.

michael maltzan’s proposed new building for the jet propulsion laboratory (JPL), a NASA laboratory in
pasadena, california, seeks to bridge the chasm between the emotional qualities of space exploration and
the bureaucratic nature of the scientific research that underlies these missions.

the 1969 moon landing radically changed alessandro poli’s vision of planet earth, leading him to develop
a new idea of geography. other space odysseys revisits projects of his that explored drastically different
proposals for connecting the earth’s environment to the new reality of outer space.
