Montage of working images for Other Space Odysseys in the CCA’s exhibition project room.

The exhibition presents three projects dealing with the idea of an adventurous journey that started 40 years ago, after the mission to the moon in 1969: the now legendary project by Alessandro Poli and Superstudio for a highway to connect the earth and the moon; Los Angeles-based architect Michael Maltzan’s design of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Administration Building for NASA that challenges existing models for housing scientific research and proposes a new type of physical environment to facilitate a collaborative research process; and Los Angeles-based architect Greg Lynn’s research and design project for new terminals on both the earth and the moon, which will connect travelers between the two locations.

Other Space Odysseys is curated by CCA Director Mirko Zardini and Curator for Contemporary Architecture Giovanna Borasi and is presented in close collaboration with the three architects, who contribute to the design of their respective presentations.
