With the 58th Venice Art Biennale now underway, design reporter Natashah Hitti picks out the exhibitions, pavilions and installations that are most likely to appeal to architects and designers, from giant hands to an artificial beach.
Having grown steadily since its establishment in 1895, the Venice Art Biennale has become a city-wide event, with many works on show outside the two main exhibition venues, the Giardini and Arsenale.
This year's biennale is titled May You Live In Interesting Times. According to curator Rugoff, the theme encourages artists to explore how art can be "a kind of guide for how to live and think" in today's "precarious" world.
"At a moment when the digital dissemination of fake news and 'alternative facts' is corroding political discourse and the trust on which it depends, it is worth pausing whenever possible to reassess our terms of reference," said the American curator. The responses include a machine that sweeps blood and a refugee boat. Here are 10 of the best:

Sun & Sea by Rugil? Barzd?iukait?, Vaiva Grainyt? and Lina Lapelyt?

Lithuanian Pavilion, Arsenale
The Lithuanian Pavilion contains an artificial beach, complete with sand, swimsuit-clad sunbathers and seaside holiday paraphernalia.
The beach scene acts as the stage of a performance that addresses pressing issues about climate change, using tired bodies as a metonym for a tired planet.
