TIME SPACE EXISTENCE at Palazzo Mora, 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale
As happened in 2016, also during this year’s edition of the Venice Architecture Biennale the European Cultural Center presents the Time Space Existence exhibition, which in 2018 takes place in three different locations in Venice: Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and the Giardini della Marinaressa gardens.
While Palazzo Bembo mainly presents solo presentations, and the Giardini della Marinaressa accommodates sculptures and site-specific installations, Palazzo Mora focuses on installations – featuring models, drawings, photographs, texts, and other media – by architectural schools, cultural institutions, architects, artists, and curators from all over the world.
Overall, the exhibition presents works by over one hundred architects, artists, and institutions, including North Carolina State University, ETH Zürich- Singapore University of Technology and Design, ENSA Strasbourg, TU Delft, the Mies van der Rohe Foundation, Fumihiko Maki, Odile Decq, Daniel Libeskind, Richard Meier, SOM, and Kengo Kuma.
We visited the exhibition at Palazzo Mora. Therefore, we present here some of the most interesting installations on view there.
