OfficeUS, the U.S. Pavilion for the 2014 International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, reframes the history of U.S. architecture through the lens of export in two interrelated constructs: “The Office” and “The Repository”. The “Repository” presents 1000 projects designed by 200 US offices working abroad in a chronological archive of the last 100 years. Collectively these projects tell multiple, imbricated stories of U.S. firms, typologies, and technologies, as well as a broader narrative of modernization and its global reach. The “Office” engages these projects, revisiting their premises and conclusions over the course of the Biennale. It functions as a laboratory staffed by a diverse group of resident design partners collaborating with outpost offices and a rotating cast of visiting experts. Together, these two halves of OfficeUS create both an historical record of the U.S. contribution to global architectural thought, and a petri dish in which that record is submitted to contemporary agents of disruption and critique. The outcome of this exhibition has resulted in three publications: the Agenda, the Atlas, and the Manual.

OfficeUS Agenda documents the work of the U.S. architectural offices and their global influence over the past one hundred years, and sets new terms in the debate surrounding the architecturea nd urbanism of tomorrow. Scholarly articles reveal new histories of the expertise, exchange, and export of architectural production and trace a century of U.S. architectural practice and work in a globalized world.
