15th International Architecture Biennale
Reporting From the Front
Curated - Alejandro Aravena
Chaired - Paolo Baratta
“In his trip to South America Bruce Chatwinencountered an old lady walking the desert carrying an aluminum ladder on her shoulder. It was German archeologist Maria Reiche studying the Nazca lines. Standing on the ground, the stones did not make any sense; they were just random gravel. But from the height of the stair those stones became a bird, a jaguar, a tree or a flower. We would like the 15th International Architecture Exhibition to offer a new point of view like the one Maria Reiche has on the ladder”.

15th Golden Lion - Lifetime Achievement
Paulo Mendes da Rocha – Brazil
The Board of Directors of La Biennale di Venezia, chaired by Paolo Baratta, awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement upon recommendation of curator Alejandro Aravena to architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha – Brazil.Amongst other points, the motivations note that;
“…the most striking attribute of his architecture is its Timelessness. Many decades after being built, each of his projects have resisted the test of time, both stylistically and physically. This astonishing consistency may be the consequence of his ideological integrity and his structural genius. He is a nonconformist challenger and simultaneously a passionate realist. His fields of interest are beyond architecture, in political, social, geographical, historical and technical realms. The role model he played for many generations of architects in Brazil, Latin America and everywhere is that of a person able to join shared and collective efforts as well as someone able to attract others to the cause of a better built environment."

The Awards - 15th International Architecture Biennale di Venezia
Golden Lion – Best National Participation
Spain – Unfinished
for a concisely curated selection of emerging architects whose work shows how creativity and commitment can transcend material constraints
Commissioners and curators - Inaqui Carnicero and Carlos Quintans
Unfinished - “The exhibition gathers together examples of architecture produced during the past few years, born out of the renunciation and economy of means, designed to evolve and adapt to future necessities and trusting in the beauty conferred by the passage of time. These projects have understood the lessons of the recent past and consider architecture to be something unfinished, in a constant state of evolution and truly in the service of humanity. The current moment of uncertainty in our profession makes its consideration here especially relevant.”
