Appendix is an expansion of the Trouble in Paradise exhibition presented at the Polish Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2021, curated by PROLOG +1. It is the result of discussions with members of the six architectural teams invited to work on the project, which took place between March and April 2021. A year of waiting for the opening of the Biennale, postponed by the pandemic, prompted the participants of the exhibition to ask themselves to what extent the themes and solutions proposed in their projects are still relevant in the new reality.

The materials that we will be publishing periodically over the coming month not only explain the concepts of the individual projects, but also show how their authors look at their ideas from a distance and from a completely new perspective.
From 18th September to 23rd October, we will be featuring one team each week via video and podcast with a full conversation.

Materials will be available on the website labiennale.art.pl in the projects section and on platforms:
