Biennale di Venezia 2014 - 14th International Architecture Exhibition - Fundamentals.

Fundamentals consists of three interlocking exhibitions:

1.Absorbing Modernity 1914-2014 is an invitation to the national pavilions to show the process of the erasure of national characteristics.

2.Elements of Architecture, in the Central Pavilion, pays close attention to the fundamentals of our buildings used by any architect, anywhere, anytime.

3.Monditalia dedicates the Arsenale to a single theme – Italy – with exhibitions, events, and theatrical productions.

 

Alongside the Central Pavilion, built in 1894 and later restructured and extended several times, the Gardens are occupied by a further 29 pavilions built at different periods by the various nations participating in the Biennale. Set amidst tall trees, the pavilions themselves form a sort of anthology of important twentieth-century architecture - given they were designed by architects of the status of Aalto, Hoffmann, Rietveld, Scarpa and Stirling.
