About this title

Synopsis

This year’s exhibition faces the fundamental changes taking place in contemporary architecture. Established in 1980, the architecture section of the Biennale enables the curators to widen their sphere of activity. Architects from all over the world are looking for ways of fusing the landscape together with new materials and new techniques, to satisfy the longing for better spaces. This fascinating concept is the starting point of what is arguably the most important architecture exhibition in the world.
