"Today the world of architecture resembles a football match with only star players who can do anything with a ball, but without goal posts and consequently without goals. However magnificent the action, it is unclear where the game is heading and what exactly we can expect of it. There are far more possibilities than ideas, and so our wealth is also our poverty."

Venice

More about the biennale to come.

venice

We're off to Venice next week for the biennale.
Hopefully we will be surprised with the quality of the presenting work this time although reading Sejima's statement I have big doubts.
Nevertheless, I really look forward to going there and enjoy the event merithorically, socially and enjoy the city of course :)
Will be back soon with loads of photographs to share.

golden lane

This post is delayed by 2 months, I guess.
I needed some time to feel right about showing these.
I feel an enormous nostalgia every time I walk around these Brutalist icons..

Looking for inspiration for our trip to Venice.

Despite all the recent problems we’re off to the Architecture Biennale, should be good.
