The exhibition works at the intersection between land-based knowledge and contemporary technology. It challenges perceptions of arid environments as spaces of scarcity and precariousness, focusing on the relationship between architecture and arid landscapes, and transforms the pavilion into an environment that exhibits the spatial, material, and tactical qualities of aridly abundant environments, creating a backdrop for architectural provocations suited for global contemporary and future arid contexts. The main question of Aridly Abundant is: What architectural possibilities can emerge when we reimagine arid landscapes as spaces of abundance?
