About OfficeUS Issues
The 25 OfficeUS Issues resonate with the archive of projects and offices of the OfficeUSRepository library that contains projects designed by US offices working abroad. These projects are presented in a chronological archive of the last 100 years which visitors access at the OfficeUS Headquarters in the US Pavilion in Venice. Individually and collectively, these issues and projects tell multiple, imbricated stories of US architectural firms, typologies, and technologies, as well as a broader narrative of modernization and its global reach. Together, the elements of OfficeUS create an historical record of the contribution of the United States to global architectural thought, and a petri dish in which that record is submitted to contemporary agents of disruption, critique, pessimism, and optimism.
OfficeUS is curated by Eva Franch i Gilabert, Ana Miljacki and Ashley Schafer.
