Biennial Exhibition of Venice in search of new forms of living

 

The 12th edition of the Biennal Exhibition of Venice will be opened on Sunday 29th September and will take place until 21st November.

The organisation of the exhibition is directed for the first time by a woman, the Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima – a member of Saana Agency – who won the Pritzker Prize – the equivalent of the Nobel for Architecture – in 2010. Her leadership is driven by the motto “People meet in Architecture”; indeed, the exhibition has the praiseworthy objective of promoting new ways of using the space in which we live and that we share, in order to transmit values of positive change and to make the dream of an improving society come true at a time of crisis.

Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa are considered the greatest representatives of the Japanese contemporary architecture, as they search for accurate and harmonious shapes that hide technical complexity and careful design behind their simple appearance. Among the most famous projects designed by Sejima, there are the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York and the Dior building in Tokio. Sanaa has also designed the IVAM extension project in Valencia (Spain) that was awarded with the Golden Lion Prize in 2004.

There will be 48 participants including studies, individual architects, engineers and artists. 53 representatives coming from different countries – among which there are Albania, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, and Austria – will also attend the exhibition. New 3-D spaces will be shown along with new systems and devices.

The Spanish pavilion will present a project called “Arquitectura entre límites” – Architecture within limits – that attempts to define a new architecture that is compatible with environmental, economic and social sustainability principles. The goal is to take advantage of the existing natural resources.

Latin America will also send its representatives. Chile will bring the memory of the earthquake that struck the country on 27th February 2010 with an exhibition entitled “Chile 8.8”. Latin America will be represented also by Argentina – with a project called “Meeting places. Recent Argentine Works: 1983 (Democracy comes back)-2010 Bicentenary – Brazil – the name of Brazilian pavilion is 50 years after Brazilia – and Uruguay. Uruguay will present the project that bears the title “5 edificios, 5 narrativas” and aims at representing different types of meetings between people and the architecture of the country. Venezuela has not confirmed its presence yet.
