dear designboom reader,
venice architecture biennale 2023 is fast approaching, and our guide details what to expect from exhibitions and pavilions as they respond to this year’s theme, 'the laboratory of the future'.
in the run up to the official opening on may 20, the austrian pavilion curators, AKT & hermann czech, speak to designboom about their plan to open up their space to a neighboring district, why the biennale rejected it, and what role can the international architecture exhibition play in the future of the city.
keep an eye out here for more interviews as well as in-depth coverage of the different projects on view, and make sure to follow @venice.architecture.biennale for LIVE coverage during the opening days.
thanks for reading!
