The Dutch non-profit Global Arts Affairs Foundation has summoned a diverse group of 100 architects from over 40 countries to participate in the Collateral Event “Time Space Existence” at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Ricardo Bofill, Norman Foster and Eduardo Souto De Moura are among the many participating, showcasing ideas, research and aspirations that will add commentary about the current state of architecture as well as highlight philosophical questions and concepts regarding time, space and existence.
A complete list of participants, after the break...
“With their structures, architects often have an enormous impact on the way we humans experience our surrounding, experience Time-Space. They influence our daily existence and leave a mark on the earth from this current Time and often this 'mark' even outlives the architect himself,” as stated the curators.
“Architects should be very conscious about the impact their activities and decisions have on people and other living beings as well as on our environment as a total. By combining different architectural thoughts and approaches, this exhibition aims to enlarge our human awareness of our own personal existence as a human being within a specific space and time.”
The exhibition will take place in two locations: Palazzo Bembo and Palazzo Mora. The 32 rooms in Palazzo Bembo will mainly highlight solo-presentations, by architects such as Ricardo Bofill, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, GMP and White arkitekter, or research projects such as that of the University of Houston. Palazzo Mora will show a variety of architects within its grand Venetian spaces, such as the sculpture by Eduardo Souto de Moura.
