Kazuo Sejima and the new spirit of the 12th Venice International Architecture Exhibition
Is it possible for people to “meet in architecture”? And what does this mean? Kazuyo Sejima is very clear on this point: …
Venice is connected to the mainland by a railway and highway bridge named Ponte della Liberta’ (Freedom Bridge), and is built on more than a 100 islands sitting in the middle of the lagoon, a reflecting pool offering breathtaking views at sunsets but also a maze of shoals and channels that over the years acted as a natural barrier against foreign invasions, allowing the city to become a chest of invaluable artistic treasures.
