Venice is calling
Officially launching Australia’s participation in the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale on Wednesday October 5th in Sydney, Creative Directors Anthony Burke and Gerard Reinmuth, working in close collaboration with TOKO Concept Design as the creative team, called on all architects or architectural practices fitting this description to lodge expressions of interest (EoI) to participate in the Biennale.
Outlining their plans, the creative directors said, “As part of the Australian contribution to the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale, we’re seeking EoIs from potential contributors to the exhibition — Formations: New Practices in Australian Architecture. We’re looking for practices redefining the boundaries of architectural practice, either through the ways in which they have established their practice or the unusual domains in which they work.
“Our aim is to highlight the remarkable versatility and innovation of non-standard practice types and their design outputs — that are recasting the ways in which architects practice — and expanding the role of architects. These new practice formations will demonstrate to the world a particularly Australian mode of innovation and invention in the Australian Pavilion.”
The Venice Architecture Biennale is regarded as the world’s most important forum for architectural discussion and debate, with the Australian Institute of Architects committed to an Australian presence at the event continuously from 2006 until at least 2016.
