Global Demands, Bild: Mooshammer+Mörtenböck, 2017
Whether in the sphere of architecture critique or on the market of speculative real estate investment, architecture is increasingly becoming the subject of global circulation. For contemporary architecture production this presents numerous challenges: How can we do justice to both the complexities of global dynamics and very local particularities in our work? What should be our focus when it comes to spatial renewal and the deployment of alternative practical strategies' The two architectural researchers Peter Mörtenböck and Helge Mooshammer have invited a number of colleagues associated with their international projects to discuss these questions and develop perspectives on the future.

In keeping with this work, their contribution to the US Pavilion at this year's Venice Architecture Biennale engages with urban and political conflicts as creative instruments and illustrates the possible contributions of architecture to the struggle against marginalisation and homogenisation in the city.
