Carte Blanche XXI: VOGT at the Architekturforum Zurich

We are delighted to curate this year’s Carte Blanche at the Architekturforum Zurich. The annual format invites practitioners from architecture, urban design, art, and related disciplines to develop and present an independent, experimental project. For its 21st edition, Carte Blanche opens its space to landscape architecture for the very first time.

As part of Carte Blanche XXI, VOGT Landscape Architects temporarily relocate their practice into the Architekturforum Zurich. With Exhibition Office, the exhibition space becomes a site for design, production, and exchange.

The concept brings together key aspects of VOGT’s working methods — including the Wunderkammer, which explores overarching themes such as biology, geology, and psychology. A large project wall traces the office’s evolution over the past 25 years, presenting projects, research, and experiments not as separate entities, but as an ongoing engagement with ideas, methods, and processes.

A diverse programme of activities accompanies the exhibition — including workshops, lectures, and conversations. Exhibition Office serves as an open working environment and a platform for dialogue between practice, research, and the public.

In the coming weeks, we will share more about the exhibition, its programme, and the process behind its making.
