Venice Biennale creative directors announced
The Australian Institute of Architects has revealed the creative directors and exhibition for Australia’s presence at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale. The exhibition will be Augmented Australia 1914-2014 by Perth team felix._Giles_Anderson+Goad.
In keeping with Rem Koolhaas’s focus on historical importance and national identity, the team will bring 21 unrealised Australian projects to life through three-dimensional augmented models, images, voiceovers and animations; 10 historical designs, 10 un-built public buildings by contemporary architects and the new Australian Pavilion by Denton Corker Marshall which will then be under construction in Venice.
The exhibition is constructed around augmented reality, activated with an app for smart devices. Visitors will be able to point their smart phone at the trigger images to open up a catalogue of virtual material allowing them to visualise, walk through and admire the scale and greatness of each project.
