Dezeen's top 10 pavilions at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016
Venice Architecture Biennale 2016: there are 61 national pavilions exhibiting as part of this year's Venice Biennale, so it's nearly impossible to see them all. Dezeen's architecture editor Amy Frearson has picked out the 10 that are not to be missed.
The 15th Venice Architecture Biennale is curated by Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena. The theme of his exhibition, Reporting From The Front, aims to shine a light on global issues that architects have the power to influence or solve.
The national participants were encouraged to also explore this theme in their pavilions, which are on show until 27 November 2016. Topics covered range from the future of the home to the refugee crisis and the importance of the swimming pool.
The majority of the pavilions at located in the Giardini ? one of the two main Biennale venues. A further 20 can be found at the other venue, the Arsenale, while the remaining 11 are dotted around the city. Here's our pick of the best:
Swiss Pavilion: Incidental Space
Sandra Oehy, Christian Kerez
The cavernous cloud-like structure that architect Christian Kerez has constructed inside Switzerland's pavilion is one of the most impressive spectacles of the Biennale.
Designed to offer visitors a "pure encounter with architecture", the project showcases the potential of combining traditional architectural crafts with digital technologies.
Venue: Giardini
Baltic Pavilion: The Baltic Atlas
K?rlis B?rzi??, Jurga Daubarait?, Petras I?...
