📋 Tender Overview
This years British Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia will highlight urgent issues including the demise of the high street how we use facial recognition technology and the decline in dedicated social places for teenagers the British Council reveals today.The Garden of Privatised Delights curated by Manijeh Verghese and Madeleine Kessler will transform the British Pavilion into a series of six immersive spaces. Each space will offer visitors an interactive experience of architecture rather than traditional exhibitions that represent architecture through models and drawings.Taking inspiration from Dutch artist Hieronymus Boschs triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights the exhibition explores the rapid rise of privately-owned public space offering an inspiring alternative vision that urges both sectors to work together to create better-designed spaces for all.In an effort to encourage greater inclusivity and consultation around architecture the exhibition will pose questions and offer ways forward to challenges such as how to make better use of green spaces in urban environments can we rethink how public land is allocated and used and how can the local pub be repurposed to serve the wider community.
