In June of this year seven architecture students came together to film the vernissage of the Venice Biennale. Undaunted by the unrelenting Venetian sun and the prospect of being faced by some of the world's greatest living architects and curators, the team - spanning four nationalities - spent three days feverishly talking to anyone and everyone (in between pasta and espresso breaks). Having built up a comprehensive picture of the opening days of the Biennale in a series of short, uninhibited filmed interviews, Mies. TV proudly presents their alternative, slightly shaky coverage of the 2014 Venice Biennale.
Watch short interviews with the likes of Jacques Herzog (Herzog + de Meuron), Daniel Libeskind, Patrik Schumacher (Zaha Hadid Architects), Sir Peter Cook (CRAB Studio), Wolf D. Prix (Coop Himmelb(l)au), Sam Jacob (FAT), and ArchDaily's very own Editor-in-Chief - David Basulto - after the break.
The Mies Collective is comprised of Matthieu Bordreuil (FR), Paula Brücke (AT), Adam Gajdos (SK) Dominik Kastner (AT), Arian Lehner (AT), Bernhard Mayer (AT), and James Taylor-Foster (UK). The European contingent is also accompanied by Gonzalo Mendoza-Morfín, Juan Mosqueda Morelos, and Santiago Párraga Becerra, Mauricio Morfín Quintanar, and Karen Arzate Quintanilla in Mexico City.
