Mahalla: Urban Rural Living

Quarta Tesa, Tese Cinquecentesche in the Arsenale, Arsenale, Castello, 30122, Venice, Italy

Title: Mahalla: Urban Rural Living.
Commissioner: the Art and Culture Development Foundation under the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Curators: Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, professors of architecture and design at ETH Zurich, and founding partners of Christ & Gantenbein.

The exhibition addresses the theme of the Architecture Biennale 2021 “How will we live together?” by researching an important aspect of the Uzbek cultural heritage: the mahalla. With their architectural structure occurring mainly as a genuinely rural space embedded within an urban context, mahallas represent an ancient and contemporary form of “living together” taking on specific meanings of cultural centers and self-government bodies. Due to economic pressure and changing habits, they are slowly being replaced by new forms of housing.
