Varied and engaging as ever, the 2021 National Pavilions at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale tell a story of the current concerns of architecture and urbanism around the world. Spread across the Giardini park, the Arsenale grounds and several other locations in Venice, the national participations and responses to Hashim Sarkis’ seminal question ‘How Will We Live Together?’ are rich and multi-faceted. Topics range from challenges of the urban realm, technology, sustainability, migration and housing. Let the virtual tour begin!
London studio Unscene Architecture explores how pubs, high streets and green spaces in the UK can be made more inclusive in the British Pavilion at this year s Venice Architecture Biennale.
The exhibition, named The Garden of Privatised Delights, comprises a series of interactive rooms that investigate how specific public spaces can be better designed.
Unscene Architecture has curated the British Pavilion
It was curated by Manijeh Verghese and Madeleine Kessler of Unscene Architecture in response to a rapid increase in privately-owned public space in Britain.
The aim is to encourage discourse on how private and public sectors can work together to improve the use of, access to and ownership of all public spaces.
