Venice Architecture Biennale

The 17th International Architecture Exhibition will run from 23 May to 29 November 2020, at the Giardini and the Arsenale, as well as around other venues in Venice. The exhibition is curated by architect and scholar Hashim Sarkis. “The world is putting new challenges in front of architecture – stated Sarkis. I look forward to working with participating architects from around the world to imagine together how we are going to rise to these challenges.”

Sarkis also says, “The architects invited to participate in Biennale Architettura 2020 are encouraged to engage other professions and constituencies—artists, builders, and craftspeople, but also politicians, journalists, social scientists, and everyday citizens. In effect, Biennale Architettura 2020 asserts the overlooked role of the architect as both cordial convener and custodian of the spatial contract.”
