Sharjah Architecture Triennial 2023

Details

Sharjah Architecture Triennial returns for its 2023 edition, The Beauty of Impermanence: An Architecture of Adaptability, running from 11 November 2023 to 10 March 2024. The Triennial title refers to how issues of scarcity in the Global South have created a culture of re-use, re-appropriation, innovation, collaboration and adaptation.

Sharjah Architecture Triennial (SAT) is a platform for architecture and urbanism in a region that extends from West Asia to South Asia and the African continent. Physically anchored in Sharjah and the United Arab Emirates, SAT aims to engage diverse audiences and stakeholders in a collective conversation on architecture at the neighbourhood, city, and regional levels. SAT is committed to pursuing a multi-disciplinary approach that fosters an understanding of the broader role of architecture, including its relation to social and environmental issues. The works will span public installations and collaborative projects that examine these ideas within the cultural and historic context of Sharjah.

A selection of 29 architects, studios and designers including Olalekan Jeyifous, Asif Khan and DAAR – Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti have been invited to participate in the Sharjah Architecture Triennial this autumn. For its second edition, Oshinowo and her curatorial advisory board have invited participants from 25 countries to explore the potential of innovative design solutions borne out of conditions of scarcity in the Global South, offering a multi-faceted and international response to the theme and its implications for the future of the discipline.

The works will span public installations and collaborative projects that examine these ideas within the cultural and historic context of Sharjah.
