Other Space Odysseys was on view at the Canadian Center for Architecture from April 8, 2010 to September 19, 2010. It presented three approaches to the idea of an adventurous journey that started forty years ago after the 1969 moon landing, and featured the work of Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan, and Alessandro Poli. The show revealed how the exploration of space has informed the rediscovery of earth, and illustrated the importance of architecture and its production of ideas.

Other Space Odysseys featured the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a NASA laboratory in Pasadena, California, which seeks to bridge the chasm between the emotional qualities of space exploration and the bureaucratic nature of the scientific research that underlies these missions. The design challenges existing architectural models for campuses that house scientific research and proposes a new type of physical environment to facilitate collaboration. This dichotomy between earthbound scientists and their work at the scale of outer space is reflected in the exhibition. In the first gallery, a video of space exploration shows the sublime and heroic qualities of the images received from outer space. The second gallery presents the day-to-day technical and bureaucratic life of the JPL through data received from the Cassini mission, which is currently exploring Saturn and its moons. Study models created at the beginning of the design phase, as well as models of the final proposal for the JPL building, created for the exhibition, were also displayed.
