Venice Biennale Pavilion - Brazil

Architect: Amerigo Marchesin, 1964. This is my favorite, with the Japanese pavilion

 

It appears as though the pavilions are essentially abandoned during the period between Biennales. The vegetation is overgrown. Windows are broken or boarded up. There is trash and construction debris everywhere. Walls are crumbling. Even electric utility junction boxes have been ripped from the walls, and trash cans and light posts are dented and turned over. It's quite depressing, and it all looks a bit post-apocalyptic.
