From the Inside Flap
This two-volume catalogue of this year's Venice Architecture Biennial, brings together some of the most important current projects from the world's top architects. The architects literally range from A to Z, from Tadao Ando to Peter Zumthor, and the works covered will shape the face of the built environment for decades to come.
Like the catalog, the show itself is divided into two parts, the first, exhibited in the historic Venice Arsenale, features 100 designs from around the world that are currently under construction, presented in the form of large-scale models and prototypes. These designs are grouped together by building type—housing, museums, skyscrapers, office and workplace design, media companies and facilities, performing arts, commercial design, educational facilities, religious architecture, and master plans.
The other part of the exhibition is in the various national pavilions, where architects have interpreted and presented work in their own way. Some consist only of projects built in a particular country, some only of work by architects born in that country. The approaches are as varied as the countries themselves.
Combined, they provide a spectacular preview of the future of design. From master plans to individual houses, the works exhibited cover the gamut of architectural design. For anyone interested in the future of architecture, Next, the catalog of this exhibition, will be an essential reference for years to come. A partial list of architects includes:
