Congratulations to GCA alumnus Khoi Nguyen, who has been selected to exhibit his research on the material economies of rural communities with a built installation at The National Museum in Norway for the 2019 Oslo Architecture Triennale.
The installation will be exhibited together with an international group of architects, artists, and researchers under the theme “Enough: The Architecture of Degrowth”.
The Triennale responds to an era of climate emergency and social inequality by proposing alternatives to the unsustainable and unfair paradigm of growth and exploring an architecture of Degrowth.
