2014, time
for Biennale di Architettura in Venice, Italy!
Let's go!!
It's the
opening day of the Biennale of Architecture and my architect friend Marianna and
I are on a train to Venice. We don't want to miss the award ceremony and
hopefully the chance to meet with Rem Koolhas, a Pritzker Price
Architect!
Mostra di Architettura di Venezia,
the Architecture section of the Venice Biennale, was established in 1980,
although architecture had been a part of the art biennale since 1968.
As well as addressing the academic
side of architecture, the Biennale is an occasion where big-name architects and
designers can showcase new projects, arranged in different pavilions, each with
different themes. The Biennale is currently held in the Biennale Gardens.
Amazing atmosphere! We manage to
gain a bit of front row experience and watch the award ceremony and snap some
great photographs! We are surrounded by journalist and reporters!
Then off to discover the exhibition
and all the different pavilions and installations!
This year the theme chosen by its
curator Rem Koolhas is FUNDAMENTALS. Interpretations on the theme blow you
away! Architecture is mixed with art, philosophy, psychology and most definitely
creativity! An extraordinary collection of research-based-installations which
illustrate the complicity of our world and the built environment we live
in!
A glorious experience! Highly recommended! The exhibition is open until November!
+ the fact that it's located in
Venice it's a massive bonus!!!
Ciao!
The 14th International Architecture Exhibition takes place from 7 June to 23 November 2014 at the Giardini and Arsenale venues and in various other venues in Venice
