Detroit Resists Criticizes Ambition of US Pavilion at Venice Biennale
Detroit Resists has released a statement questioning the ambition of the US Pavilion?s ?The Architectural Imagination? exhibition at the 2016 Venice Biennale. The exhibition consists of twelve teams of designers who will present newly speculative projects that can be applied not only to various sites in Detroit, but also to other cities around the world. Yet while the exhibition aims to understand Detroit?s political, social, economic, and environmental context so that ?the power of architecture? can be of service to the community of Detroit, Detroit Resists? statement claims that in the past this ?architectural power? has been indifferent to the political context.
