Where’s The Real Architecture At This Year’s Venice Biennale?

“At least half the 10th International Architecture Biennale, held in various locations in La Serenissima this autumn, comes as a disappointment. The main exhibition – held in the old naval dockyard, the Arsenale – raises questions of world importance; but the solutions by architects, displayed in the national pavilions in the nearby Public Gardens, are, for the most part, weak, flippant and severely lacking in imagination. There is little here that might have excited Calvino’s Marco Polo.”
